So it looks like Joni Mitchell isn’t a Swifty, then.

The iconic Canadian musician has reportedly put a halt to plans for Taylor Swift to portray her in a biopic.

Speaking to the Sunday Times about the rumoured movie adaptation of the book, Girls Like Us, Mitchell quashed any talk of the Shake It Off star featuring in the film.

“I squelched that!” she said about speculation that Swift will play her in the film.

“I said to the producer, ‘All you’ve got is a girl with high cheekbones.’ It’s just a lot of gossip; you'd don’t have the great scenes.”

Joni added: “There’s a lot of nonsense about me in books, assumptions, assumptions, assumptions.”

Reports that the Taylor was in the running to play Mitchell in a big-screen adaptation of the book about the singer, and fellow musicians Carly Simon and Carole King have been circulating since 2012.

The pop-country songstress recently told Southern Living magazine that a duet with the Canadian singer or Coldplay’s Chris Martin was on her dream list of collaborations.

“I think so highly of them, I’d never want to ask,” Tay told the mag.

I stay out too late
Got nothing in my brain
That's what people say, mmm
That's what people say, mmm
I go on too many dates
But I can't make 'em stay
At least that's what people say, mmm
That's what people say, mmm

But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music in my mind
Saying it's gonna be alright

Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off

I never miss a beat
I'm lightning on my feet
And that's what they don't see, mmm
That's what they don't see, mmm
I'm dancing on my own
I make the moves up as I go
And that's what they don't know, mmm
That's what they don't know, mmm

But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop grooving
It's like I got this music in my mind
Saying it's gonna be alright

Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off

Shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off

"Hey, hey, hey
Just think while you've been gettin' down and out about the liars
And the dirty, dirty cheats of the world
You could've been gettin' down
To this sick beat!"

My ex man brought his new girlfriend
She's like "Oh my God!"
I'm just gonna shake
And to the fella over there
With the hella good hair
Won't you come on over?
Baby, we can shake, shake, shake

Yeah, hooo
Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off

Shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off

Shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
