“The craziest one of all those was to hear that Taylor Swift was a huge Twi-hard,” the Twilight director said. “[Our agent said] ‘Taylor would like to be in this movie — not because of you, but she’s a Twi-hard. She would be someone at the cafeteria or the diner or whatever, but she just wants to be in this movie,’” he recalled.

However, it was Swift‘s fame that led to Chris turning her down. “The hardest thing for me was to be like, the moment that Taylor Swift walks onto the screen, for about five minutes, nobody is going to be able to process anything,” he noted. “Sometimes you make decisions thinking this is for the best of the film,” he continued.

To be honest, even we would have paid all our attention to Taylor Swift if she would have come to where we work. But it would have also been interesting to see her in the Twilight Saga.
