The Weeknd is on the cover of the latest issue of Rolling Stone and he has some things to say about Taylor Swift.
The "Hills" singer revealed that when he met first met Swift she confessed to loving one of his early tracks.
"She was like, 'I've been listening to 'The Morning' for years — it's one of my favorite songs ever!' I mean, she might have just Googled it," he said. "But she seemed genuine."
But also? Swift was really into PETTING HIS HAIR.
"The whole time she was talking, she was kind of, like, petting my hair?" he continued.
"But when she started petting my hair, that's when I was like, 'I definitely need a drink.'" he told the magazine.
Taylor corroborated the story in a BBC Radio 1 interview earlier this year where she said she woke up to an email from The Weeknd about the incident.
Folks on Twitter had some feelings about it.
Dear white people, Just cuz The Weeknd was ok with Taylor Swift doing it doesn't give you a pass to go around petting black folks' hair.
