Jessica Hart at last year's fashion show
Taylor Swift allegedly had Jessica Hart banned from the Victoria's Secret fashion show.
The 'Blank Space' hitmaker reportedly only agreed to perform at the annual lingerie showcase for the second consecutive year under the condition that the 28-year-old Australian model, who has modelled for the brand in the past, wouldn't be appearing on the catwalk.
A source said: "It's not been announced that Jessica is not walking, but it was a direct request from Taylor that this be the case if she were to go."
Relations soured between the pair after last year's event in New York City because Jessica stated Taylor "didn't fit" in as a performer at the event.
She said at the time: "God bless her (Taylor Swift's) heart. I think she's great. But, I don't know, to me, she didn't fit. I don't know if I should say that."
Jessica, who still works with the brand, later insisted she didn't mean to insult Taylor.
She said: "It was taken out of context, but I have certainly learnt my lesson."
But the 24-year-old singer is said to have made sure Jessica wasn't appearing at the event in London on Tuesday night (02.12.14) before signing her contract.
The insider told the New York Daily News' @Confidential: "No one can know that Taylor requested Ms. Hart not be in the show; they want to keep that under wraps but that's the facts."
