Christopher Polk—Getty Images ## Transcript [00:00] For your Late Night Highlight, Jimmy Kimmel got revenge [00:03] on his own music booker for Taylor Swift. Apparently, [00:07] when she was just 14, she tried to play for the booker and [00:11] he wasn't interested. Looking back, all's well that ends [00:15] well. I do hold a grudge. Guillermo, grab some of the [00:17] security guys, I want Scott thrown out of this building right [00:20] now. Take him out. [00:25] And the Scott the Music Booker was indeed thrown [00:29] out of th building. For her part, Swift was gracious and said [00:33] it was probably better Scott did not let her play saying [00:36] Jimmy would have scolded him for letting a 14- year old. [00:39] Quote " child" perform. Obviously Taylor made it big without [00:43] Scott. She's been busy promoting her new album 1989. [00:47] She even shut down Hollywood Boulevard for Jimmy's [00:50] show. Her single " Shake it Off" was at number one a few [00:53] weeks ago and is still up there at number two. The album [00:56] will be out Monday. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3725450/dress-taylor-swift-black-blue-white-gold-celebrities/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3725450/dress-taylor-swift-black-blue-white-gold-celebrities/"},"headline":"Taylor Swift Says The Dress is Black and Blue","datePublished":"2015-02-27T03:38:14.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-01T09:02:58.196Z","description":"Other celebrities are also weighing in on the dress that's breaking the Internet","url":"https://time.com/3725450/dress-taylor-swift-black-blue-white-gold-celebrities/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral","Bizarre","Taylor Swift"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Rishi Iyengar","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/rishi-iyengar/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3725450/dress-taylor-swift-black-blue-white-gold-celebrities/","name":"Taylor Swift Says The Dress is Black and Blue"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"REAL TIME: The Dress That Broke The Internet","description":"Musician Caitlin McNeill posted a a picture of dress to Tumblr and asked what color it was.
