Taylor Swift was considered for a role in The Vampire Diaries, according to a main cast member.
Nina Dobrev (Elena), starred in the drama, which was fronted by a league of beautiful, blood-sucking vampires and an array of mythical creatures.

Speaking to E!, she explained: "I remember at the very beginning, we heard that Taylor Swift was a fan of the show.
"And then the producers tried to write a role for her.
"It didn't work out schedule-wise, obviously, she wasn't on the show. But that was a surprising one."
Although plans fell through, Dobrev did have praise for the singer's acting skills, admitting: "She would have been great."
The successful series ran from 2009-2017, with stars including Ian Somerholder (Damon) and Paul Wesley (Stefan) in Dobrev's character's love triangle.

The singer has had roles in other series, such as CSI and New Girl.
Swift has also turned her hand to film too, with her CV including roles in Valentines Day, The Giver and more recently, Tom Hoopers box office flop Cats.
Les Miserables almost offered Swift a role with the director stressing she brilliantly auditioned, but the part was ultimately given to Samantha Banks instead.
Hooper said of the decision to choose Banks over Swift : "I didnt cast her, but I got very close to it."

"Ultimately, I couldnt quite believe Taylor Swift was a girl people would overlook.
"So it didnt quite feel right for her, for the most flattering reason."
Swift did get to experiment with her acting more recently in her music video for single The Man.
For the role she transformed into her version of an alpha-bro, using synthetics and a wig to complete the look.
Seasons 1-8 of The Vampire Diaries are available to stream on Netflix.
