Taylor was apparently accosted by a homeless person when she decided to exit the studio and cross the street to visit the 7-Eleven. After her disturbing brush with reality, Taylor declared that she will never be returning to Sunset Sound.
It's still not clear what exactly went down during this confrontation, just that she was "accosted." For all we know, they could've just asked her for money. But to someone like Taylor, who lives in a rather prestigious bubble, bumping into a homeless person is probably a completely terrifying experience. However, for the rest of us, it's an unfortunate reality that quite a number of people will see on an almost daily basis, especially if you're living in a larger city.
From Radar Online:
"Taylor Swift was down here, and she made the mistake of going out on the sidewalk and going to the 7-Eleven across the street - got accosted, came back to my tenant and told him 'I will never come back to Sunset Sound again,'" Sunset Sound president Paul Camarata told ABC7 when talking about the homeless population that's been hanging around the facility. "This is really bad for business."
RadarOnline.com has reached out to Swift's rep for comment.
Sunset Studio has been where some of the world's best musicians have smashed out their mega hits. Some of them include Michael Jackson, Prince, Stevie Nicks, Lionel Ritchie, Whitney Houston, Dolly Parton, Ringo Starr, Elton John, Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand, Van Halen, Paul McCartney — the list could go on and on.
Camarata spoke about the homeless crisis in Southern California after his iconic studio was burglarized over the weekend. While Swift watched her boyfriend, Kansas City Chief's tight end Travis Kelce, win Super Bowl LVIII against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Sunset Sound was targeted.
"We've been here 64 years. We've made some of the most iconic records that have been done in the industry here," Sunset Sound president Camarata told the outlet. "And now we've got to deal with this homeless problem that is potentially putting us out of business."
