Jared Leto may not be a fan of Taylor Swift's music, but that doesn't mean the 30 Seconds to Mars frontman isn't sorry when he says mean things about her. On Monday night (Dec. 7), video leaked of Leto and his 30STM bandmates in the studio recording their new album, and while listening to 1989 as inspiration, the actor/musician felt compelled to give a big ol' F-you to pop's reigning queen.
In the leaked video posted by TMZ, Leto and an unnamed bandmate are in the recording studio listening to Swift's Grammy-nominated album 1989 as they prep to record the follow-up to 2013's Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams. Leto quickly dismisses the record's opening track "Welcome to New York," but approves of "Style" as a "nice little pop song" and praises "Blank Space" for nailing a crossover between Sia's beats and Charli XCX's bite.
But, the real kicker comes at the end of their listening session when Leto fully dismisses Swift and her massive pop album.
"F*ck her. I don't give a f*ck about her. It's whatever works best for us," Leto can be heard saying in the video.
Shortly after the video was posted online, Swift's fans raged against Leto on Twitter, leading for him to openly apologize to Swift.
The truth is I think @taylorswift13 is amazing + an incredible example of what's possible. If I hurt her or her fans my sincerest apologies.

For her own part, Swift seems to be staying out of the drama, at least online. She hasn't tweeted since Sunday.
