LOS ANGELES, May 8 (UPI) -- Elizabeth Olsen blew her chance to befriend Taylor Swift.

"I really love her, and earlier in my ballet class, I was doing a dance sequence to her music," she recalled. "And I just talked at her for like a long time. I think I blew it because we didn't exchange phone numbers or anything."

"She was asking me which song [I was listening to in class], and I couldn't remember the song title, and I wasn't going to sing it for her!" she continued of the embarrassing exchange. "I'm still nervous thinking about it right now."

Swift is known for her friendships with such celebrities as model Karlie Kloss and actress Selena Gomez. The pop star gave fans a glimpse into her friendship with singer Ed Sheeran by sharing a screenshot of a goofy text message conversation with the star.
