Does Taylor Swift have a hair fetish?!

Los Angeles - The Weeknd claims a tipsy Taylor Swift wouldn't stop petting his hair.

The Hills singer - whose real name is Abel Tesfaye - met the Shake It Off hitmaker at a Grammy Awards party in Los Angeles and said that Taylor couldn't keep her hands off his hair throughout their chat.

He told Rolling Stone: "The whole time she was talking she was kind of, like, petting my hair. I think she was just drawn to it - she must have been a little gone off a few drinks. And of course I'm not going to be like, 'Hey, can you stop?' I mean, it felt good! But when she started petting my hair, that's when I was like, 'I definitely need a drink.'"

However, the star was thrilled that Taylor revealed herself to be a big fan of his work.

He said: "She was like, 'I've been listening to The Morning from House Of Balloons for years - it's one of my favourite songs ever!' I mean, she might have just Googled it. But she seemed genuine."

The Weeknd also spoke about the reason for his distinctive locks, explaining: "I want to be remembered as iconic and different. So I was like, 'Fuck it - I'm gonna let my hair just be what it wants.'"
