Emily Ratajkowski shares insights into her newfound appreciation for Taylor Swift, detailing her previous indifference towards the pop icon and how a former romantic partner played a pivotal role in transforming her into a devoted Swiftie.

Emily Ratajkowski recently revealed the reason why she has become a fan of Taylor Swift.

On her latest High Low with EmRata podcast episode, the model, 32, spoke about how she was not particularly interested in the singer’s music until someone she dated helped change her mind.

She also revealed to that she went to one of the 33-year-old Midnights hitmaker’s recent concerts amid her ongoing The Eras Tour and enjoyed the show.

I kind of grew up [with] a little snobbery around my generation,’ she explained to her podcast guest, Troye Sivan, for the episode. ‘I wasn’t somebody who listened to pop music a ton.’

The author — who previously dated Harry Styles and now has an ex in common with Swift — one of her past beaus was ‘talking about [how] just because something’s popular doesn’t mean that it isn’t excellent.’
Actually, a lot of times the things that are popular are actually just incredibly good,’ she continued.

‘I came around,’ she then said about her newfound admiration for Swift. ‘It changed it for me completely.’

‘I was not a Swiftie and now I’m like, “You know what that means? That means I was a misogynist that I didn’t f*** with Taylor Swift”,’ she explained.

‘Because I went to her concert and I was like, “This person is an incredible songwriter, an incredible performer, and anybody who says anything else? Like, they have issues. And actually maybe not a very sophisticated palette,’ she said obviously impressed with the Grammy-winning songwriter.

‘If you don’t like Taylor Swift, then, like, you don’t understand things,’ she said.

Last May, the My Body author attended Swift’s concert in East Rutherford, New Jersey and shared a TikTok video of herself enjoying the show.

In an interview with Elle in March, she defended Swift after a clip from her 2012 appearance from Ellen DeGeneres’ eponymous show resurfaced.

The talk show host had, at the time, put photos of several famous men in front of Swift’s face and asked her to point out everyone she had dated.
