Jessica Hart Praises Taylor Swift, Explains Comments that 'Red' Singer Would Not 'Fit' as Victoria's Secret Model
Victoria's Secret model Jessica Hart has backpedaled from her criticism of Taylor Swift, Us Weekly reported Nov. 17.
Hart created controversy last week when she said that Swift was out of her league when it came to the annual Victoria Secret show. Swift was one of the performers at the televised event which will air in December. Hart said that Swift "didn't fit" among she and her peers and wouldn't make a good lingerie model.
"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," Hart explained. "I think it comes with age. It's definitely the benchmark of all jobs."
Over the weekend, Hart sought to clarify the comments she made to WWD. She insisted she meant no offense.
"I adore Taylor Swift, and I was so excited to be with her at the Victoria Secret Fashion Show. What Taylor does on stage is nothing compared to what we do," Hart told Us. "I could never get up there and do what she does! She is a true rock star and she absolutely killed it the other night. Her song 'Fearless' was one of my favorite songs, and I own her first ever CD. I can't imagine why I would have said anything bad about her."
