Taylor has been captivating her fans with an exciting series of shows on her Eras Tour. Notably, her decision to include European venues led to breaking ticket sales records.

Amidst the Taylor Swift frenzy, a new celebrity supporter has emerged. Emily Ratajkowski, who previously held reservations, openly admitted to not connecting with the star's music. However, her perspective shifted after experiencing Taylor's live performance in an arena.

In one of the episodes of her podcast, "High Low With EmRata," Emily Ratajkowski engaged in a conversation with Troye Sivan, during which they discussed the subject of Taylor Swift.

Troye Sivan, the 28-year-old Australian singer, had a recent collaboration with the artist known for "Cruel Summer." This partnership occurred during a performance at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California.

Emily told Troye: “I was not a Swiftie and now I’m like, You know what that means? That means I was a misogynist that I didn’t f**k with Taylor Swift.”

The actress continued: “I went to her concert and I was like, This person is an incredible songwriter, an incredible performer, and anybody who says anything else? Like, they have issues. And actually maybe not a very sophisticated palette.”

“If you don’t like Taylor Swift, then, like, you don’t understand things.”

"I kind of grew up with a little snobbery around my generation," she said to her podcast guest, who is a friend of Swift's.”

"I wasn't somebody who listened to pop music a ton."

At the beginning, she thought if a lot of people liked something, it had to be good. But later, she began to see things in a new way.

"Actually, a lot of times the things that are popular are actually just incredibly good.

"I came around...It changed it for me completely."

The statement suggesting that not valuing the 'autumn' singer makes someone a misogynist didn't resonate positively with certain fans.

Numerous individuals expressed their views on social media, pointing out that the situation isn't as straightforward as it might seem.

One said: "It’s fine to be a fan and acknowledge her talent but the logic here is interesting."

Another added: "Not liking Taylor Swift makes you a misogynist...?"

A third wrote: "If I was her PR team, my god, I'd be at the bar right now."

Ratajkowski previously stood up for Swift and swiftly came to the singer's aid when an old 2012 interview resurfaced on social media.

She commended the singer for her adept handling of Ellen DeGeneres' 'awkward' inquiries during a TV interview. The questions involved whether Swift had been in relationships with specific male celebrities.

"Watching that interview, I was so struck by how clear she's being about what is making her uncomfortable," the model told Elle earlier this year.

"I think the lens that I would've viewed that interview from 10 years ago versus now has evolved so much, which is why is struck me. I was in bed falling asleep and commented on it, not because I thought it was going to make headlines at all."

"She's another example of a woman who has been faced with such blatant misogyny and sexism, and yet we don't want to admit that, because she's powerful and successful, and also she's white."

"There's a bunch of reasons, which I think are fair and important to bring up in the conversation, but that clip in particular was just so striking to me because she was communicating very clearly about why she didn't feel comfortable with what was happening."

"And it was making everyone laugh. It actually upset me. And I think that just even that speaks to a larger thing I've noticed, where people don't listen to femme-presenting people."
