Yesterday, TMZ posted a video in which Jared Leto returns from Mars and becomes the last person on the planet to hear the singles off of Taylor Swift’s 1989 album:
Unfortunately, Leto is less than impressed, accusing Taylor of ripping off Charli XCX, and eventually declaring, “F–k her. I don’t give a f–k about her. It’s whatever works best for us.”
Taylor has enough bad blood in her life, so she chose not to respond to this one personally.
Instead, like a midriff-baring Don Corleone, she let her loyal army show Leto who’s boss.
After 24 hours of being bombarded with negative tweets, Leto took to social media to apologize for offending the queen and her minions:
“The truth is I think @taylorswift13 is amazing + an incredible example of what’s possible” Leto wrote last night. “If I hurt her or her fans my sincerest apologies.”
Hopefully, the apology will prove sufficient and the Swifties will let Jared live to see his Joker movie hit theaters.
After all, the jab was meant for Taylor’s music, not Taylor personally.
And it’s not surprising that “Blank Space” didn’t float Jared’s boat. The guy’s supposedly dating Miley Cyrus, after all. Clearly, he likes his pop a bit less mainstream.
Now that we’ve defended Jared, we have to point out that he’s like 6 months late with that “Starbucks lovers” joke. Don’t act like you haven’t seen that one on Twitter, bruh.
