Joni Mitchell Dissed Taylor Swift

A couple of years ago, a Joni Mitchell biopic was in the works and Taylor Swift was up for the lead role.

In an interview with London’s The Sunday Times, Joni explained why the film was never made. “I squelched that!” Joni said. “I said to the producer, ‘All you’ve got is a girl with high cheekbones’. It’s just a lot of gossip, you don’t have the great scenes.”

Joni totally called Taylor out as “the girl with the high cheekbones” — burn!

Taylor Swift Honored At The American Music Awards

Fortunately, Taylor knows how to “Shake It Off” — she is totally taking the music industry by storm and has no time for the haters.

On Nov. 23, after taking the stage earlier in the evening to perform her new hit single “Blank Space,” Taylor accepted the American Music Awards newest and henceforth highest honor: the Dick Clark Award for Excellence.

Each year, the artist who achieves a groundbreaking feat or creates a landmark work will be honored with the award, and considering Taylor’s newest album ‘1989’ charted as the highest selling album released in 2014, she was more than qualified for the distinction.
