Taylor Swift was never going to be Vampire newspapers. In 2009, the co-creator Kevin Williamson expressed his interest in Taylor Swift having a vampire role. Rumors have circulated for years that Swift was supposed to play Lexi Branson, the unhappy best friend of Stefan Salvatore who is murdered in season 1, episode 8, “162 candles”.
But, according to co-creator Julie Plec, the role had not been written for the phenomenon. In I felt epic: an oral story of vampire newspapers By Samantha Highfill, Plec explained how Swift’s name had become linked to the series despite the intention of launching it as a guest star. Consult your comments below:
The CW asked us if we wanted to do a Taylor Swift cameo, and we said no. He did not feel anchored. It is not the 7th paradise where Taylor can present himself and make a free concert in high school and make him feel real. It will take us out of it all, we will need this kind of small timeless community and will make it feel too contemporary. If only I knew what I know now about my love for Taylor.
Arielle Kebbel was what the co-creators wanted for Lexi. She had initially heard for Elena Gilbert but, when they needed someone who could show a different side of the Broody Stefan, they set off. Kebbel knew she was thrown for an arc at an episode that would see Vampire newspapers“Lexi killed at an end.
What Taylor Swift’s exclusion from The Vampire Diaries meant for the show
When Vampire newspapers Debiting in September 2009, Taylor Swift was a rising star in the industry whose recognition of the name has skyrocketed after Kanye West inflated his reward speech to the VMA. 19 years with a dedicated fans base and a film credit to her credit, she would have been a perfect cameo for the CW public.
The teenage dramas of the 2000s were manufacturers of tastes of music. Like their predecessors from the 90s, they served as vehicles to push artists to a larger audience. However, as Plec points out, Swift would have shot concentration. Unlike its contemporary counterparts, TVD is a series of vampires.
Trying to create a realistic reason for it to be in Mystic Falls would not have worked. While the presence of Swift in TVD Would have been a fun addition, whether it is itself or a vampire, it is the best that it was not in the series.
Our point of view of Julie Plec’s decision not to throw Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift does not appear in Vampire newspapersAnd even less as Lexi, kept the teenage drama anchored as Plec wanted. Kebbel’s performance as a sparkling and sneaky Stefan rain cloud has turned out to be a favorite of fans. It has even been brought back several times throughout the Vampire drama race.
Lexi not only had a more important presence than expected, but she and Stefan ended the series in a way that would never have taken place if it was played by a megastar.
Conflict planning alone would have prevented repeated appearances. Notably, Vampire newspapers I did not have incredibly famous musicians, although my morning jacket And therefore stereo made appearances.
