Breaking News: Not ᴍany people ʜave good things to say about her’: Woman who ‘wᴇnt to high school with Taylor Swift’ claims maɴy classmates ‘HATED’ the singer. The reason she gave was really difficult to accept.
A woman who said she went to the same high school as Taylor Swift before she became a superstar has claimed that a lot of the singer’s fellow students ‘hated’ her because they were ‘jealous’ when she started to achieve her music success
Jessica McLane, now 30, said that she attended Hendersonville High School in Nashville, Tennessee, with Taylor, now 32, for less than a year in 2006 – when she was a freshman and when the popstar was a junior.
Taylor, who grew up Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, moved to Tennessee when she was 14 so she could pursue a career in country music, and she was a student at Hendersonville High School for two-and-a-half years – before she ultimately left to become homeschooled after her career took off.

Now, Jessica has dished on what the Grammy-Award-winning artist was really like before she found fame, claiming that while she herself hardly talked to Taylor, other students told her that she was ‘b***hy.’
But as her career took off, Jessica said her ‘jealous’ classmates started to spread vicious rumors that Taylor’s family ‘bought her fame’ and bribed Scott (seen in 2011)
She explained that so many other students were ‘trying to break into the industry,’ and that they were filled with envy when Taylor made it and they didn’t.
‘Jealousy was definitely a thing,’ she stated. ‘The 16, 17-year-olds who were trying to have a career in music at Hendersonville were playing downtown or at the local coffee shop, not winning awards.
‘It’s not that these people weren’t talented, it’s just that most people don’t make it. Also, back then, Taylor didn’t have as good of control over her voice as she does now, so there were a lot of people in high school who [felt they] were vocally a lot better.’
She added that the guys who inspired some of Taylor’s songs were unhappy after she started releasing music about them, which added fuel to the fire.
‘Also, the guys she was writing these songs about they were still in school, they were still there,’ she continued.
‘And now they have a hit song about them talking about what a s**ty boyfriend they are, you know?’
Taylor left school months later, and graduated via home schooling – before she went on to become of the most well-known artists on the globe.
