Margaret Qualley's Viral Interview Sparks Taylor Swift Fan Fury!

Taylor Swift's fans were up in arms over a Harper's Bazaar interview with Margaret Qualley, 30, after the nearly two-year-old video resurfaced and went viral

Taylor Swift's Fans Go Wild: Margaret Qualley's Awkward Interview Resurfaces and Sparks Outrage

In a shocking turn of events, a nearly two-year-old video of actress Margaret Qualley has resurfaced on TikTok, leaving Taylor Swift's devoted fanbase up in arms. The clip, which was initially posted by Harper's Bazaar as part of their October 2023 cover story featuring the 30-year-old star, shows Qualley being asked a question about her husband, Jack Antonoff's, collaboration with none other than Taylor Swift.

The interview took place while Qualley was promoting her new movie, Honey Don't!, alongside Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans. The actress, who is no stranger to controversy, seemed taken aback by the question, which asked her how many songs her 41-year-old husband had created in collaboration with the pop superstar.

In the interview, the actress ¿ who is married to Swift's frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff ¿ was notably asked a question about the pop superstar that she failed to answer correctly; Swift is pictured in July 2023 in Santa Clara, Calif.

In a cringeworthy moment that has left Swifties gagging, Qualley hastily read out multiple-choice answers before sheepishly admitting she didn't know the correct answer. "I don't know," she stammered. "A lot. I'm gonna say 71." The answer was eventually revealed to be 56, but not before Qualley waxed poetic about the magic of watching Swift and Antonoff work together.

"Oh, it's like a rocket ship," she gushed. "It's insane."

Despite her enthusiasm for Swift's music, many fans were quick to call out Harper's Bazaar for asking such a question in the first place. As one fan so aptly put it: "Stop asking this woman about Taylor Swift." Another chimed in, "As a Swiftie, I'm almost certain this woman doesn't want to talk about how many songs her husband has produced with another woman."

But Qualley's struggles to answer questions about her husband's work are nothing new. In an earlier interview on the Today show, she seemed equally flustered when asked about Swift's upcoming album.

In a moment that will surely go down in history as one of the most cringeworthy celebrity interviews ever, Qualley was seen squirming uncomfortably as the host pressed her for answers. "I'm trying to decide," she stammered. "It's a lot. Off of the last album, maybe if I could narrow it down... I really like Maroon and Lavender Haze, but I like them all."

The response from Swifties was swift (pun intended). Many fans took to the comments section of the TikTok clip to express their frustration with Harper's Bazaar for repeatedly asking Qualley about her husband's collaboration with Swift.

"Can't they just ask her about herself for once?" one fan pleaded. Another added, "I think she's pretty clear she hates answering these questions." Several other users echoed this sentiment, suggesting that it was time to give Qualley a break and focus on her own work instead of constantly probing her about her husband's collaborations with Swift.

But what's really behind Harper's Bazaar's fascination with asking Qualley about Taylor Swift? Is it simply a case of lazy journalism, or is there something more sinister at play?

One thing's for sure: the drama surrounding this interview has left Swifties gagging. As one fan so aptly put it, "So Margaret Qualley has an entire career. How about we ask HER about HER?"

Though she admitted she didn't know the answer, Qualley did reveal her favorite songs on Swift's 10th studio album, Midnights; pictured May 2024 in Paris

The question on everyone's mind now is: will Harper's Bazaar finally take a page out of their book and focus on asking Qualley about her own work? Only time will tell.
