Andy Cohen Won’t Be Invited to Join Taylor Swift’s Squad Anytime Soon
Katy Perry, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, and… Andy Cohen? Taylor Swift may have just added another name to her burn book.
The Watch What Happens Live host shares a pretty funny story about Swift, 26, in his new memoir, Superficial: More Adventures From the Andy Cohen Diaries. Well, its funny for us readers, but we doubt the “Blank Space” singer finds it amusing. The incident all went down at the Met Gala in May.
“Why I felt I needed to get involved I will never know (maybe I was auditioning for her squad?), but I innocently said exactly the wrong thing to her, which was: ‘Your friend Katy is sitting in the corner and there’s plenty of room around her,‘” Cohen, 48, writes as excerpted by E!. Apparently Taylor and a friend were looking around for a place to sit. “She asked, ‘Katy who?’ and I said, ‘Perry,’ at which point she clearly let me know that she’s the exact opposite of her friend. I kind of gasped, realizing she was in the most famous feud of all the feuds.”
Even celebs have brain farts, because Andy was definitely aware of the bad blood between the singers as he discussed it on his late-night show. He admits he was “completely mortified” that he said “something so moronic” to someone he didn’t know.
“I said at least now she knows where not to go, which I thought was a nice button on the conversation and made it all a laugh,” he reveals, noting that Taylor “didn’t agree.”
He continues, “The capper is that she now thinks I’m a dick and I wasn’t even trying to be shady. I was just sticking my nose where it didn’t belong… And I saw Katy Perry alone in a really good area! I failed my squad-ition!”
Oh, but that’s not all.
Taylor apparently turned around and commanded Andy “not to say a word about this on my show, and said that she’s watching.”
“She’s watching? Is that a threat? And is she watching?” he wonders in the book. “That made me feel good momentarily good until I realized there might’ve been a ‘f***ing’ thrown in there before ‘your show,’ or was that my scared imagination? (If she’s watching my ‘f***ing’ show, that makes it a little less exciting.) I sputtered that I had no plans to say a word about it on my show — as a matter of fact, I silently vowed to stop playing into the hype that she created around her song ‘Bad Blood.’ Hadn’t I beaten it to death anyway?”
Well, he didn’t vow not to never share the anecdote: “She didn’t threaten me about putting it in my book, so here we are.”
Before you Swifties go after Andy on social media, he did try and clear one thing up to People.
“Maybe I am a shady ass b**** that I did put it in the book,” he says. “I think the story is about what a douche I am in that instance.”
Taylor probably agrees.
