A TikTok user, who claims to have attended the same school as Taylor Swift, suggests there was some tension between Swift and other students.
There wasn’t much of a harmonious relationship between Taylor Swift and some of her high school classmates, according to a social media user who has come forward to share that some students actually ‘hated’ the singer.
Jessica McLane shared on TikTok that she grew up in the same town and attended the same school as Swift, offering insights into what the singer was supposedly like during her teenage years.
Although McLane attended Hendersonville High School in Tennessee with the ‘Blank Space’ singer, she admits in a ‘blanket apology’ that she doesn’t know ‘much’ about the global superstar.
She stated: “I was a church kid, I didn’t really listen to Taylor Swift, I kinda just got into Taylor Swift so give me some grace.”
“So in 2006, I’m a freshman in high school, Taylor is, I think, a junior. ‘Teardrops On My Guitar’ had just come out I think over the summer.”
“Obviously she got really big and that’s the year that she left school, she was homeschooled in 2006.”
McLane further claims that Swift was mostly ‘hated’ by peers at school when she began to achieve significant success.
The TikToker added: “Keep in mind, these are her peers, you know, this isn’t like just random people on the internet.”
“She’s literally like what 16, 17, leaving high school to pursue a career that people are telling her that she could never have.”
“Also, the guys she was writing these songs about, they were still in school. And now they have a hit song about them, talking about what a s****y boyfriend they are, you know?”
McLane mentioned hearing ‘a lot of rumors’ about how Swift started her career, but even attending the same school, she doesn’t have all the details.
The one notable remark she made was that ‘there were not a lot of people in high school who had nice things to say about her’.
It seems Swift had the final word, as she invited her former classmates to the CMA Awards in 2009.
“She invited us to the CMAs to say ‘F**k you’. And we deserved it,” McLane revealed.
“So Taylor, touché, that was a good one.”
Many Swift fans have taken to the comments section of the video to express their opinions.
One TikTok user commented: “Sagittarius energy. We forgive but WE NEVER FORGET.”
“That’s incredible respect for Taylor Swift,” another user noted.
And a third added: “Taylor has the last laugh!”
