Taylor Swift allegedly had Jessica Hart banned from the Victoria's Secret fashion show.
The 'Blank Space' hitmaker reportedly only agreed to perform at the annual lingerie showcase for the second consecutive year under the condition that the 28-year-old Australian model, who has modelled for the brand in the past, wouldn't be appearing on the catwalk.
A source said: "It's not been announced that Jessica is not walking, but it was a direct request from Taylor that this be the case if she were to go."
Relations soured between the pair after last year's event in New York City because Jessica stated Taylor "didn't fit" in as a performer at the event.
She said at the time: "God bless her (Taylor Swift's) heart. I think she's great. But, I don't know, to me, she didn't fit. I don't know if I should say that."
Jessica, who still works with the brand, later insisted she didn't mean to insult Taylor.
She said: "It was taken out of context, but I have certainly learnt my lesson."
But the 24-year-old singer is said to have made sure Jessica wasn't appearing at the event in London on Tuesday night (02.12.14) before signing her contract.
The insider told the New York Daily News' @Confidential: "No one can know that Taylor requested Ms. Hart not be in the show; they want to keep that under wraps but that's the facts."

Haylie Duff is expecting her first child.
The 29-year-old celebrity chef, who is singer Hilary Duff's older sister, has announced she and fiancé Matt Rosenberg will welcome their first child into the world next spring.
A spokesperson for the couple, who got engaged in April, confirmed the happy news to E! News and Hilary, who has son Luca, two, with estranged husband Mike Comrie, also shared her excitement on Twitter, writing: "GUYS I'm going 2 be an auntie @haylieduff & @matt_sts are going to be the best parents to a sweet baby &luc will have a partner in crime (sic)"
Their new arrival is unlikely to disrupt their wedding plans, as earlier this year Haylie admitted she wasn't stressed getting married.
The 'Real Girl's Kitchen' host said: "I really haven't had any time to sort of Google 'wedding dresses' and Pinterest boards and all the stuff that people I think normally do."
But 'The Wedding Pact' actress is certain apparel entrepreneur Matt is the "one" for her.
She said: "He just complements me so well. We're very different in a lot of ways. I think really when he became close with my family, and I saw how simpatico everybody was, that's when I was like, 'Okay, so not only do I love him, but they love him too.' And I feel like that's the way it's supposed to be."
The couple celebrated their anniversary on November 22 and Haylie shared a romantic picture of them taken on a beach, with the caption: "Happy Anniversary to the greatest man I know. I'm lucky to be yours."

Kellan Lutz is dating Brittany Ward.
The 29-year-old actor, who was briefly linked to Miley Cyrus earlier this year, has only been romancing the model since October, but the couple are already "very close and have been for some time."
A source told E! News: "Kellan and Brittany are dating. They are super cute together."
The 'Legend of Hercules' star was spotted cycling around Marina Del Rey, California with the brunette beauty over the weekend and they also attended Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios in Los Angeles, with friends in October.
The 'Twilight Saga' star previously dated '90210' actress AnnaLynne McCord, 27, and former 'Home and Away' star Sharni Vinson, 31, whom he split from in May 2013 after eight months of dating.
The heartthrob denied rumours he was dating 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker Miley, 22, last spring and insisted he was happily single.
He said at the time: "I've been friends with Miley for like six years. She's a great girl. I love hanging out with [her]. She's super talented. She's a really cool, secure woman. We run in the same circle.
"Are we dating? No... I'm happily single. I'm not [looking] right now... I'm enjoying life and traveling quite a bit... There's no real time to find the one."

Lady Gaga wants to get sober "at some point" in the future.
The 'Bad Romance' singer admits she still struggles with depression and wants to stop drinking alcohol so she can learn how to relax.
She said: "I do believe that people are triggered, [that] their depression is triggered by situations. I believe that all depression stems back to anxiety and an inability to relax during tough situations. When my life got more and more stressful, it was like I was just smoking and drinking and popping anything I could do to just chill out."
Asked if she plans to embrace sobriety, she told 'The Howard Stern Show': "I think I will be at some point."
The star prefers to exercise instead of going out on the town these days.
She said: "Now I meditate...I do yoga. I use the sauna a lot. It's good for my body because the show's so physical. And I sing jazz! The jazz has been so good for my depression."
The 28-year-old singer, who also revealed that she was raped by a unidentified music producer when she was 19, says Tony Bennett helped to restore her faith in men while they were recording their recently released duets album, 'Cheek to Cheek.'
She said: "Can you imagine after all that time and after that how I was feeling, then having Tony Bennett be so loving? He's not just a father or a grandfather or an uncle--he's a friend. He's a brother. He's everything. He wants nothing from me but my talent and my friendship."
The 'Applause' hitmaker, who is dating actor Taylor Kinney, kept the sexual assault a secret until now because she doesn't want it to define her.
She said: "I'll be damned if somebody's gonna say that every creatively intelligent thing that I ever did is all boiled down to one d**khead who did that to me."

Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi's husband pleaded guilty to Driving Under the Influence (DUI) in court this morning (02.12.14).
Jionni LaValle, who married the former 'Jersey Shore' star in front of 500 guests at the Venetian banqueting hall in New Jersey on Saturday (29.11.14), was ordered to pay a $614 fine and complete 12 hours of drug and alcohol education classes stemming from his arrest on August 7 in Totowa, New Jersey at 3:30am after police officers noticed him driving erratically.
His licence was also suspended for 90 days, but two other charges against him relating to an unsafe lane change and careless driving were dismissed, according to E! News.
His court appearance comes just three days after he tied the knot with the 28-year-old reality TV star, with whom he has son Lorenzo, two, and daughter Giovanna, nine weeks.
The couple celebrated their marriage at a lavish the 'Great Gatsby'-themed bash and Snooki previously revealed they spent their first day as newlyweds hungover.
She wrote on Twitter: "Hungover with my husband. (That will not get old) getting mcdonalds and being slobs together. Waiting for walking dead tonight (sic)"
The duo started dating in October 2010 and got engaged in March 2012.

Scarlett Johansson says motherhood is "exhausting in the most wonderful way."
The 30-year-old actress, who gave birth to her first child, Rose Dorothy, with husband Romain Dauriac in September, approximately one month before the couple secretly wed in Montana, admits she is still learning the ropes, but is smitten with their daughter.
Asked about being a mother, she said: "It's exhausting in the most wonderful way. I never thought how much sleeping through the night would mean to me.
"I still lack experience. Right now I'm just trying to manage. You have to first, how should I put it, learn the ropes."
The 'Under the Skin' star thinks her daughter smells amazing.
She told Germany's Gala magazine: "She smells sweet, totally. I can't quite describe it, but it really makes you euphoric."
Meanwhile, Scarlett, who was previously married to Ryan Reynolds for three years until 2010, thinks communication is the key to a successful relationship.
She said: "I've come to the conclusion for myself that a relationship only functions if you communicate well with your partner. Listen to yourself and what you want, and listen to your partner.
"This is one thing I've learned over the years. And I've gotten better at it. Love can be difficult, but it's absolutely worth the effort."
The couple attended the IFP's 24th Gotham Independent Film Awards in Manhattan, New York City last night (01.12.14), where Scarlett was overheard introducing French journalist Romain, 32, to friends, including actress Julianne Moore, as "my husband," and proudly showed off photographs of her daughter.
A source also told UsMagazine.com: "She looked really happy."

Armie Hammer's wife has given birth to a baby girl.
The 'Lone Ranger' actor and journalist Elizabeth Chambers are "over the moon in love" with their first child, who was born in Los Angeles on Monday (01.12.14).
A spokesperson for the 28-year-old star told PEOPLE.com: "Both mom and baby are doing great."
Another insider said the couple are looking forward to introducing their bundle of joy to family members and friends.
Elizabeth, 32, previously revealed on Instagram that their baby was several days overdue.
The brunette beauty posted a photograph of their puppy wrapped up in blankets, with the caption: "In the absence of baby, husband has taken to swaddling the Arch. Practice makes perfect #severaldayslate"
The couple, who announced they were expecting a baby in June, got married in May 2010 after being introduced by their mutual friend, artist Tyler Ramsey, but Armie previously admitted he never expected to settle down.
He said: "I was always the guy who thought I'd never get married because [I thought], 'There's never going to be one woman worth giving up all the others.' But she knocked me off my feet."

Reese Witherspoon never considered herself to be "America's Sweetheart."
The 38-year-old actress, who was charged with disorderly conduct after her husband, Jim Toth, was arrested and charged with DUI (Driving Under the Influence) last year, admits she isn't a "sweet" person.
She said: "I certainly didn't self-identify as anyone's sweetheart. I'm friendly, but I don't think I'm sweet. I'm honest."
Meanwhile, the blonde beauty credits her best friends, including Cameron Diaz, Naomi Watts and Drew Barrymore, for helping her to heal following her split from ex-husband, Ryan Phillippe, in 2006 after seven years of marriage and has daughter Ava, 15, and son Deacon, 11.
The 'Wild' star said: "I am so, so lucky to have girlfriends who, when I was on the floor crying, upset about things that happened in my life, came over, stood me up, put me in the shower, put my clothes on, took my kids to school, brought me dinner. You know? I love my girlfriends, and I protect those relationships fiercely."
The 'Water For Elephants' actress learned a lot from her divorce.
She said: "I don't think I realised [in my twenties] that no one else makes you whole. You have to take responsibility for your own happiness."
Reese, who also has son Tennessee, two, with Hollywood agent Jim, says he has also helped her to accept herself.
She told the January issue of Glamour magazine: "Well, I have to say a very healing part of my life is my wonderful husband, Jim. It's really wonderful being with somebody who supports me, who loves me, who is my number-one fan. That is such an incredible experience. You have to be ready for those things. I had to be in a place where I felt all those things about myself."

Bradley Cooper refused to use stimulants to help him bulk up for 'American Sniper'.
The 39-year-old actor, who has been sober since August 2004 after struggling with drugs and alcohol addiction, was forced to gain 30 pounds of muscle in a short space of time to play a Navy SEAL in the film and feared he wouldn't be able to transform his body by simply working out.
He said: "I did it naturally. Because I've been sober for 10 years and didn't want to do anything. I had a realistic conversation: Can I do this in three months naturally? Can I gain 30 pounds of f**king muscle? I didn't know if I would be able to do it or not. Thank God--luckily--my f**king body reacted fast."
Bradley also revealed the death of his father, Charles Cooper, in 2011 helped him prepare for the gruelling role.
He told the January issue of Vanity Fair magazine: "Losing someone close to me. Going through love and loss . . . knowing what's important. Realising that the bottom line is that all I got is me, so it's about time to stop trying to be something that I think you would want me to be. Or that would give me what I think I need. As you get older, thank God, your body deteriorates, but your soul sort of flourishes."
The 'Silver Linings Playbook' star, who has been in a relationship with British model Suki Waterhouse, 22, for almost two years, says his personal struggles have changed his approach to life.
He said: "I see life much more gray as I get older. I was so sort of black-and-white in my late 20s. There's right and there's wrong and that's it. That's a tough way to live.... It's rare that I judge somebody, really rare. I think people feel that, so it's sort of easy to get close to somebody if you don't feel judged by them."
