Taylor said, “I don’t know if it was the wisest thing to say. I was definitely joking. Clearly it’s taken off.”

Taylor then said, “She knew immediately. She’s like, that’s gonna really trigger the Swifties. Or, I mean, they’re supportive of it because, I mean, I don’t know. I personally think John is a very talented musician, but I am aware of a couple songs that were on that album.”
