The Weeknd: Taylor Swift Pet My Hair After The Grammys

The Weeknd’s hairstyle is noteworthy – but is it
worthy of being pet?

In a new interview with
Rolling Stone, the singer said the first time he met Taylor Swift, she couldn’t
resist touching his ‘do. The “I Can’t Feel My Face” singer said he
first met Taylor at a Grammys after-party with guests that included Katy Perry,
Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith.

“Everyone was
hammered,” The Weeknd claimed in the interview. “Sam had just won,
like, every Grammy, so he was having the time of his life. Max Martin actually
left because everyone was so drunk. Unfortunately, that was the one month I decided
to stop drinking. Everybody was having a great time, all these cool things were
happening, and I was shaking, like –’F**k, I really want a drink.'”

In the midst of the
party, the 25-year-old singer encountered Taylor.

“She
actually schooled me on my own sh*t,” he recalled, explaining that
Taylor said she was a huge fan of his music. “She was like, ‘I’ve
been listening to ‘The Morning’ [from ‘House of Balloons’] for years – it’s one
of my favorite songs ever!’ I mean, she might have just Googled it. But she
seemed genuine.”

And then the awkward
hair moment went down.

“The whole time she
was talking, she was kind of, like, petting my hair? I think she was just drawn
to it – she must have been a little gone off a few drinks,” he continued.
“And of course I’m not going to be like, ‘Hey, can you stop?’ I mean, it
felt good! But when she started petting my hair, that’s when I was like, ‘I
definitely need a drink.'”
