In a recent interview snagged on the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show pink carpet, Liam Payne was in the line of fire of a very awkward bit of questioning regarding Taylor Swift. He handled it like a pro, tyvm.
In the Extra TV video, Liam dished on his excitement about being at his first fashion show, especially a scantily clad one! He chose his words carefully though, since girlfriend Sophia Smith was also there, calling it "quite weird and wonderful" to be in attendance. When the interviewer pointed out how it's "one of the best because girls wear as little as possible," he nervously laughed and said, "That's not why I came."
Liam also commented on Harry not being there, speculating he was "at home, hungover, in bed," but of course we now know he turned up at the afterparty (and was rumored to have a secret meet-up with ex-gf Taylor Swift).
He also had a theory about why 1D weren't chosen to perform at the fashion show, but said he was excited about seeing Ed Sheeran, Hozier and Ariana Grande (Liam's a fan: "She has got an amazing voice...she's top class," he said).
As for Taylor, the interviewer said, "You've obviously spent a lot of time with Taylor Swift." Yeah. No. Liam searched for the right words, landing, on, "Uh...well, I haven't spent a lot of time with Taylor Swift. I've been around her lovely self...but yeah..." Note the cutie smirk he's got while saying it.
