One Direction was slammed twice by Taylor Swift during the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards on Aug. 25. And while Taylor may have assumed her disses would have some sort of affect on the boy band, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson all “laughed about it” and think it’s sad that she’s “talking s*** about them.”
“All of the One Direction members have seen the video of Taylor [allegedly] talking negative about them and they laughed about it the entire time and thought that she should worry about important things besides talking s*** about them. They think it’s sad that they affect her attitude so much and she should grow up!” a source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively.
As the boy band stood on stage, presenting the award for “Best Pop Video,” Taylor revealed her feelings to her BFF Selena Gomez, who was seated next to her. When Zayn said that the “best fans are in New York,” Taylor turned to Selena and was allegedly caught mouthing “shut the f*** up” with an exasperated and annoyed look on her face.
Even we were stunned!
Later, when Taylor won the “Best Female Video” VMA, she further called out her dislike for 1D by thanking Harry for the award, saying “I also wanna thank the person who inspired [‘I Knew You Were Trouble’], who knows exactly who he is, because now I got one of these!”
Well, one thing is for sure — Taylor Swift has balls. But at least the boys of 1D are just brushing it all off.
