Jared Leto apologises after video of him 'dissing' Taylor Swift's music leaks

'The truth is I think Taylor Swift is amazing and an incredible example of what's possible'

Jared Leto came under fire earlier this week after footage of the 30 Seconds to Mars singer ‘dissing’ Taylor Swift leaked online.

In the short video released by TMZ, Leto is seen sitting in the studio, hair coloured pink, listening to Swift’s latest album 1984.

First of all, the Joker actor compliments the verse on “Blank Space” - confusing the line “long list of ex-lovers” with “Starbucks lovers” and saying he wants to steal the Charli XCX-like beat - adding that her song "Style" an “interesting little pop song”.

At the end of the clip, however, he controversially says, in a rushed segment which quickly cuts out: “F*ck her. I don’t give a f*ck about her. It’s what works best for us.” Watch below.

Of course, most people would probably think he’s just implying that his band shouldn’t worry what Taylor Swift has done and instead focus on their own music, yet headlines have been screaming “Jared Leto says Screw Taylor Swift”.

It should also be noted just how edited the video is, presumably taking out much of what was said about Swift’s music as overall it seems predominantly complimentary.

However, Leto has since had to apologise for the comments in the only real way any celebrity can ever really apologise for anything in the 21st Century: via Twitter.

He wrote: “The truth is I think @taylorswift13 is amazing + an incredible example of what's possible. If I hurt her or her fans my sincerest apologies.”

The two have been spotted on numerous occasions with each other at award shows and the like, so presumably there is no Bad Blood between the two. (I'll walk myself out...)
