Grizzly Bear's Edward Droste has described Taylor Swift as "terribly calculated and mean" after meeting her at an event, adding, "She frightens me genuinely."
Earlier in the year, Droste sent and then deleted a series of tweets which he has since confirmed were about Swift, who frequently sings the praises of her close circle of celebrity friends, and regularly sends gift packages to fans.
He wrote, "Met a celebrity I always speculated was terribly calculated and mean, and they exceeded all my expectations of rudeness and arrogance. HATE," before adding, "If you know please don't @ the person, they see all and have the capacity and desire to destroy , seriously , please just know and lol[...] This is an eternal blind item, bc I'm too petrified of their insane power. No need to speculate, just HAD to voice my disgust."
It seems he's since had a change of heart though, tweeting a page from a gossip magazine that accused Swift of giving her friends a list of dos and don'ts prior to joining her on stage.

Droste then retweeted a tweet which read, "I want to just put out there that I've always known Taylor Swift was [as] immensely evil as she is powerful."
As the lead singer of indie-rock band Grizzly Bear, Droste has released four albums - the most recent of which was 2012's Shields. The band are currently on a break.
