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.
