Interviewer Jokingly Tells Taylor Swift That She Needs To Shower—And She Rolls With It

Pop superstar Taylor Swift doesn't give too many interviews...perhaps because when she does, the reporter implies she smells bad seconds after she's left the concert stage. Moment after a six-song set in Wales, the BBC's Greg James told Swift it was time she went and got a shower. Fortunately, Taylor took the whole incident in stride, though her fans were somewhat offended for her.

After several other questions, James said to Swift:

I think you need to have a shower now.

To which she responded:

I agree. And I'm not offended that you said that. There's a lot going on and none of it's good here.

The backlash from Swift-heads was immediate, prompting James to explain himself in a since-deleted tweet:

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

Twitter was not not NOT amused by James' joke.

Greg James had better learn a lesson before doing another interview with Taylor...that is, if he ever gets another one.
