Taylor Swift Slams Olly Murs For “Sexist” Comments | Celebrity ...

She’s no stranger to receiving criticism for her breakup songs, but Taylor Swift wasn’t keen on Olly Murs' sentiments regarding her Harry Styles-inspired lyrics.


Last week the English hunk made fun of Swift for her new song “Out of the Woods,” noting, "Come on [Taylor], let it go. Write something new that isn't about Harry. Bless him, it's been like two years and he's still getting lashed out isn't he?"


And today (October 20) Taylor retorted, "You're going to have people that are going to see the depth from which you approached a song - that you put your real emotions into it and that that's valuable and that's good and that's real. And then you're going to have people who are going to say, 'Oh you know she just writes songs about her ex-boyfriends.”


She added, "But I think frankly that's a very sexist angle to take. No one says that about Ed Sheeran. No one says that about Bruno Mars. [They're] writing songs about their exes, their current girlfriends, their love life and no one raises a red flag there."


As a result, Olly apologized. “They were having a banter with me, they said what they said about Harry and (Taylor’s) song and all I said was ‘Give him a break.’ I have reached out to her, she knows I’m sorry, I didn’t mean anything by it and it was all in jest. I am a music fan and I am interested in what everyone is doing.”
