'Outnumbered' on Taylor Swift facing scrutiny over private jet use

The panel reacted to the celebrity facing backlash over her private jet use despite pushing for green energy to combat climate change.

Taylor Swift recounted her "nightmare" audition for "Les Misérables" in an interview posted Friday from "The Graham Norton Show."

The "Anti-Hero" singer detailed her experience meeting actor Eddie Redmayne a decade ago during a screen test for the 2012 film adaptation of the Broadway classic.

"The Good Nurse" actor was also a featured guest on "The Graham Norton Show" as the two both reflected on the moment together.

"Basically, I was up for two roles," Swift said.

"I had the look of Cosette and the range vocally of Éponine, so it was established I was there for a good time but not for a long time. I wasn’t going to get the role."

The "Lavendar Haze" singer continued to say that she was asked to come to London to do a final screen test with Redmayne and agreed since Swift admitted she was a huge fan of his.

"When I got there, they put me in full 19th-century street-urchin costume and told me they were going to paint my teeth brown, and I was like, ‘You are going to do that after I meet Eddie Redmayne, right?'" she laughed.

"I thought we were going to be singing opposite of each other…it was so weird because Taylor was dressed fully as Éponine, and I was like in my tracksuit. They had us on the floor…singing…and all I knew is I just had garlic breath," Redmayne laughed.
