Victoria's Secret model Jessica Hart sashayed down the runway at the taping of the annual fashion show earlier this month in New York with a smiley face balloon.
But she probably hasn't been smiling about a remark she made at the after-party.
Hart was asked by Women's Wear Daily about Taylor Swift, who performed on the show and seemed to enjoy prancing down the catwalk as she sang.
Could she make it as a V.S. model?
"No," said Hart, adding, "I think, you know what, God bless her heart. I think she's great. But, I don't know, to me, she didn't fit. I don't know if I should say that."
Hart went on to say, "I think what you find is that for a lot of us, we've been working for 14, 15 years; what it takes to make it here comes from experience and confidence and knowing how to be confident with yourself. I think it comes with age. It's definitely the benchmark of all jobs."

Page Six reported last week that Hart had been fired by Victoria's Secret and would not appear in catalogs or in next year's show.
So we asked V.S. about it and got the official word from Ed Razek, president and chief marketing officer in a statement:
"There is no truth to the rumors that Jessica Hart has been fired or that she will no longer work with the brand. As you will see, she was a great part of our show and we look forward to continuing to work with her."
The statement also said that "we at Victoria's Secret and all those involved, including Jessica Hart, were thrilled to have Taylor be a part of the show. We look forward to sharing her performances next week during the television special. "
You can see Hart and her, um, balloons on the show, airing Dec. 10 on CBS at 10 p.m. ET.
