When asked about Taylor Swift’s appearance at this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Australian model Jessica Hart didn’t have very nice things to say.
From WWD —
She was asked about Swift. Could she pull it off as a Victoria’s Secret model?
“No.”
“I think, you know what, god bless her heart. I think she’s great,” she said. “But, I don’t know, to me, she didn’t fit. I don’t know if I should say that. I think what you find is that for a lot of us, we’ve been working for 14, 15 years; what it takes to make it here comes from experience and confidence and knowing how to be confident with yourself. I think it comes with age. It’s definitely the benchmark of all jobs.”

And here all I thought it took to be a runway model was to be gorgeous, have the body fat of a UFC bantamweight, and know how to walk a straight line without falling down. The more you know!
Hart later backtracked, or more accurately someone else did it for her.
“I have personally been in contact with Jessica Hart and she said she was ‘wildly misinterpreted’ and that she thought Taylor was ‘amazing,'” [Victoria’s Secret chief marketing officer, Edward] Razek tells Us. “She is stunned that anyone would think differently. And that’s something we can all agree on.”
He was probably thinking what we’re all thinking…better be nice or Taylor Swift will write a song about you that’ll be heard by millions over and over and over. He also dropped this gem, “Taylor’s not ready to be an Angel? She’s more than ready to be anything she wants to be.”
Okay, slow your roll, Ed. We get it, you like Taylor. Let’s not get crazy here.
