Taylor Swift Joni Mitchell Biopic Feud: Folk Artist Slams ‘1989’ Singer Following Spotify Controversy & Lorde, Diplo Twitter Beef, Didn’t Want “Blank Space” Musician In ‘Girls Like Us’ Film Adaptation

Back in 2012, there was talk that Taylor Swift was in line to play folk's own Joni Mitchell in a silver screen biopic based on the book Girls Like Us, which chronicles the influence the folk legend, as well as Carol King and Carly Simon, had on the music industry. All the while, the 1989 singer admitted that she'd be totally down to play Mitchell, but nothing had been solidified and eventually the project just withered away. Why? Well, apparently Mitchell just wasn't that into having Swift play her in the film, so she squashed the film. So, alongside Diplo and Spotify, it looks like Swift has yet another beef on her hands.

According to a new report from the Sunday Times (via Rolling Stone), Mitchell "squelched" the film. The singer told the Times, "I said to the producer, 'All you've got is a girl with high cheekbones.' It's just a lot of gossip, you don't have the great scenes." On top of that, she also called a lot of the film's source material "assumptions," which was written by author Sheila Weller. "There's a lot of nonsense about me in books." Mitchell said.

No word from Swift yet on the new report, but we can guess she isn't thrilled, considering how much she was pining to play the part of Joni Mitchell. Back in 2012, Swift told RS Country, "I wish I could say it's confirmed!" about the rumors. She added, "But the thing about movies I've learned is – I've been reading scripts for five years, and you just don't know what ones are going to get greenlit and which ones aren't." Due to that, Swift couldn't add anything further because she apparently had no clue as to what was going down behind the scenes.

We're curious if 2014's Taylor Swift would have had more control on the project. Seeing as how she basically captivated the world with her recent 1989 release and taking her entire catalogue off of Spotify.

So, okay, Taylor Swift isn't going to play Joni Mitchell, but she'll just have to settle for being the most famous artist in the world right now. Womp, womp, womp...
