Joni Mitchell Stops Taylor Swift Playing Her In Biopic
The iconic Canadian singer has thrown some major shade over Swift’s acting skills…
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.
Got nothing in my brain
That's what people say, mm-mm
That's what people say, mm-mm
I go on too many dates
But I can't make 'em stay
At least that's what people say, mm-mm
That's what people say, mm-mm
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
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'll never miss a beat
I'm lightning on my feet
And that's what they don't see, mm-mm
That's what they don't see, mm-mm
I'm dancing on my own (Dancin' on my own)
I'll make the moves up as I go (Moves up as I go)
And that's what they don't know, mm-mm
That's what they don't know, mm-mm
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
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

And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, baby (Haters gonna hate)
