Camila Cabello Details Leaving Fifth Harmony & Her Very First Meeting Taylor Swift in 'Rolling Stone'

Camila Cabello is on the cover of Rolling Stone‘s new issue.

Here’s what the 21-year-old entertainer had to share with the mag:

On meeting Taylor Swift (through mutual friend Hailee Steinfeld) after a breakup: “She sent me a breakup playlist and said, ‘Come over. Let’s talk about it,’…I think the Haim girls were there. It was, like, a girls-night thing.”

On leaving Fifth Harmony after it was implied that “continuing to pursue a solo career was not compatible with being in the group”: “I don’t think there was ever a point where I was like, ‘I want to leave because I’m the breakout star.’ We were just really young. If we were in the same situation now, it would probably be fine for everyone to make their own music while being in the group, because I think everyone understands now that you can’t limit people. That’s why people break free.”

On “Havana”: “Nobody wanted to make it a single. They said that radio would never play it, that it was too slow, too chill….It just taught me a huge lesson: Screw whatever’s ‘going to work’ – you just have to go with the thing that you feel is the most you.”
