Did Taylor Swift get Jessica Hart dropped from Victoria’s Secret? Wild fan theory resurfaces

Previously, Jessica Hart had garnered significant recognition as the rising Australian star on the Victoria’s Secret runway. However, despite her setback, some supporters continue to speculate that a supposed disagreement between Hart and Taylor Swift may have negatively impacted her career trajectory.

Rumors are swirling once more, speculating that the 39-year-old model may have been barred from participating in the esteemed Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in 2014 due to her alleged criticism of Taylor Swift.

This week, social media has been buzzing with excitement following the revival of an old controversy. The reemergence of Instagram conversations sparked renewed discussions and fueled curiosity about the situation.

One person suggested that perhaps the show organizer decided to ban her because she publicly criticized their event, while another stated that it might be due to a rule in VS; models who speak negatively about the show or fail to engage with the artist during performance are typically prohibited.

Others weighed in with more pointed takes, calling the decision to remove Hart ‘totalitarian.’

One user emphasized the importance of respecting anyone hired by an employer, stating, “Regardless of who they are, you shouldn’t criticize someone your employer has brought on to perform.” Another user raised concerns about such a practice, saying, “Isn’t this behavior reminiscent of totalitarian regimes? Aren’t you aware of that?

In 2013, a peculiar disagreement started between the Australian beauty and the influential American pop star, stemming from when Hart was invited to express his opinion about Swift’s debut performance compared to someone else’s.

While she tried to remain diplomatic, Jessica’s words seemingly ruffled feathers.

‘I think she’s great… But, I don’t know, to me, she didn’t fit,’ she said at the time.

By 2014, Taylor was asked back to perform, but Hart was conspicuously missing from the catwalk.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but share this intriguing tidbit. Back when news broke out, The New York Daily News reported something fascinating. Although it wasn’t officially confirmed that Jessica wouldn’t be walking, there was a direct plea from Taylor for her to skip if she attended the event. Fascinating, isn’t it?

That particular year, Taylor made a comeback to the show where she shared the stage with her dear friend and fellow model, Karlie Kloss, attracting an audience of millions. Meanwhile, Hart remained inconspicuously out of sight.

The years that followed saw no signs of reconciliation between the two stars. 

In the year 2018, Jessica rekindled the dispute when she donned a playful pink sweater with the message: “A brief insult, directed at Taylor Swift.

Fans instantly recognised the dig, with some lashing out at the Sports Illustrated beauty online. 

In response to the statement, “Other fans responded by sending numerous images of snakes, seemingly indicating their agreement or disapproval.

But not everyone sided with the pop queen.

As a lifestyle advisor, I wholeheartedly stand by Hart’s advocates who staunchly uphold her freedom of expression. Particularly in light of the noticeable decline in her career trajectory post-controversy, it seems only fair to let her voice be heard.

Previously well-known as the lady famous for her distinctive gap-toothed grin, Hart chose to step back from the spotlight and abandon the Victoria’s Secret catwalk completely due to the ensuing turmoil.

Now a mother-of-two and founder of her beauty brand, LUMABeauty, Jess seems unbothered by the past.

Regarding Taylor, the 14-time Grammy award recipient is currently commanding top positions on worldwide charts following her groundbreaking Eras Tour. She’s been notoriously secretive about the rumored disagreement.

Swift, Hart and Victoria’s Secret have been approached for comment.
