Robert De NiroenjoysTaylor Swift’s music, though it’s unclear if he’d consider himself a true Swiftie.
In a new interview withVariety, De Niro was asked about Swift’s upcoming"All Too Well" short film screening and talk at the 2022 Tribeca Festival— which the legendary 78-year-old actor co-founded with Jane Rosenthal in 2002 — and revealed whether or not he’s a fan.
“I have all of her albums,” De Niro told the outlet with a laugh. “I’m notnota fan.”
“I probably hear her music and like it on the radio,” continued the two-time Oscar winner before sharing his general thoughts on the structure of radio. “My young daughter puts a station on, and it drives me crazy when they chat. When they have music, it’s OK.”
