Taylor Swift’s friends did not invite her to events to avoid ‘attention’

It is not easy being Taylor Swift, who is surrounded by paparazzi everywhere she goes. From stepping out with friends to going out to a private dinner with her beau, the Grammy-winning star took a decade and a half to find that right balance of attention that she could allow in her private life.

But her global fame comes with a price that only she has to pay. The singer once shared how sometimes her friends did not invite her to events knowing there could be paparazzi and helped her out by not including her.

Taylor explained: “Sometimes I don’t get invited to things because my friends know it’s going to be a hassle to take me.”

She added: “I’ll find out that a group of my friends went out to dinner, but they wanted it to be a low-key night and not worry about people coming up to the table every other second and asking for autographs, so they didn’t invite me. I can understand that.”

While it can seem almost ‘rude’ for her friends not to invite her, Taylor understood their intention and took it as a protective measure to actually help her.
