FKA Twigs emerges as about the only celebrity not desperate to be friends with Taylor Swift

'I wouldn't necessarily think, 'Oh my god, I have to be friends with her’'

Taylor Swift has been carefully collecting trending celebrities as friends through Instagrams and live shows lately, with Jesus Christ himself expected to be brought out on stage during her next tour.

While completely respectful of Swift and her work, FKA Twigs isn’t fussed about being part of her "squad" however.

Asked by Paper Magazine how her performances connect with audiences in a different way to someone like Swift, whose general message is "how much you want to be her friend”, Twigs replied:

“I think Taylor Swift is great, but I wouldn't necessarily think, 'Oh my god, I have to be friends with her’."

She also expressed a dislike for the term ‘fan’, and has no plans to come up with a name for them a la Swifties, Arianators, Little Monsters, Directioners, Smilers etc.

“When I meet fans, they're quite creative and intelligent, kind, sensitive,” she said. “Some are old ladies, witch doctors from Louisiana, kids that have just left art school. Gay or lesbian couples, straight middle-aged couples..."

"I'm honest, and that comes out. Honest people come in lots of different types and they relate to things that aren't straightforward. I'm happy that people can roll with me, give me a chance, and let me explain my songs through my visuals. But I don't even like calling fans 'fans.' It's like, [pulls face ] Ugh, fans. [laughs] It's just people that like your music."
