Hollywood Turned Down Taylor Swift In The Past But Regretted It

That’s right, Taylor Swift is among the biggest stars in the world, but she was turned down for a major project years ago. Twilight director Chris Weitz admits he “kicked himself for it,” turning down the chance to work with Swift on the film.

He revealed with People, “The craziest one of all those was to hear that Taylor Swift was a huge Twi-hard, and actually Taylor Swift and I had the same agent at the time and he said, ‘Taylor would like to be in this movie – not because of you, but she’s a Twi-hard.’” Weitz said.

“‘She would be someone at the cafeteria or the diner or whatever, but she just wants to be in this movie.’ The hardest thing for me was to be like, the moment that Taylor Swift walks onto the screen, for about five minutes, nobody is going to be able to process anything,” Weitz continued.

That’s my character!” The fact that Taylor Swift knows who I am? I made it! She was with her mom, just so happy to be there, with the perfect attitude.”

It remains to be seen if Taylor Swift chooses to continue down the Hollywood road in the future.
