Taylor Swift Told To Shower By Cheeky Interviewer And Fans React
A bit of dry British humor on a muggy day did not amuse some Taylor Swift fans.
BBC Radio 1’s Greg James lightheartedly told the pop superstar “I think you need to have a shower now” after she performed at the Biggest Weekend festival in Swansea, Wales, on Sunday.
A sweaty Swift, who sang an energetic six-song set in high humidity, appeared to take the comment in stride.
“I agree,” she said. “And I’m not offended that you said that. There’s a lot going on and none of it’s good here.”

But some of her fans did not appear to shake it off so easily ― prompting the interviewer to share on Twitter that Swift “has a great sense of humor” and they had a pleasant follow-up chat.
She really is right. TS has a great sense of humour and we have known each other for ages and had a good catch up after the interview. It’s all cool. It was hot up there. I almost said we should both go for a shower but after this reaction I’m glad I didn’t! X

Really @GragJames telling @taylorswift13 she needs to take a shower? However British you are, remember that you're being watched globally. Where are your manners?
