Believe it or not, Hilton and Swift go way back to her high school days.

Around 2007 or 2008, Blender magazine, which no longer exists, had Swift on its cover and an article about her in it.

“I remember the article vividly because remember, she started when she was in high school, and she was asked who she wanted to take to prom and her answer was Perez Hilton,” he shared. “I thought, great answer!”

Hilton said he always knew there was something “special about her” that went beyond just music. He just knew that her talent would take her to a great place.

Taylor Swift has given Perez Hilton a number of gifts along the way

Hilton recently shared a video on Instagram of himself unwrapping a gift he received from Swift. After opening the box, he briefly shared the story of Swift telling Blender magazine that she wanted to take Hilton to the prom.

And that’s not the first time Hilton has received a thoughtful gift from Swift.

“Two of my most cherished possessions here in my house are this platinum plaque that Taylor Swift gave me when one of her albums debuted to over a million in its first week,” he shared.

“And when my son was born in 2013, she made me a gift: this little ukulele. She painted it, wrote a sweet message on it and sent it to me as a gift. That was the kind of person she is – incredibly thoughtful and detailed and strategic and smart and kind and wonderful.”

Hilton also said he would love the opportunity to interview Angelina Jolie. He even said she’s “connected to my story.”

“I’ve never met but always had such an affinity for Angelina Jolie,” he told The Blast. “I, Perez Hilton, was the one who coined the term ‘Brangelina’.”

Jolie and Brad Pitt started dating around the time Hilton started in the celebrity entertainment industry. He said no one else did what he did and that he “set the trends and did it all.”

“I came up with them: ‘Brangelina.’ I came up with ‘Tomcat,'” he said. “I was also the first media outlet in the world to post photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina together as a couple. They were photos of them on vacation in Africa.”

Perez Hilton shared the story of how he got those first photos of “Brangelina.”

He went on to explain how it all happened for him, saying that he can “share it now,” explaining that the paparazzi worked very differently in 2005 than they do now.

“The paparazzi agencies didn’t have websites. The paparazzi agencies of the early 2000s would email proofs or just real photos to potential buyers. Buyers would look at them and make bids,” he explained. “If it was an exclusive photo, they could bid and the biggest one got the photos.”

A photo agency emailed photos of Pitt and Jolie to agencies around the world.

“One of my sources was this person who worked at a British celebrity news magazine. Their magazine was outbid and wouldn’t publish the photos, but they still had the photos in high resolution and without the watermark,” he continued. “So my friend emailed me the pictures and like I said, it was the wild west and I didn’t care if I wasn’t allowed to do something. I did it anyway.”

Hilton eventually shared those photos and received an insane amount of traffic that crashed his website. It also earned him a lot of attention from the mainstream media.

“I don’t do that anymore because after a lot of lawsuits I learned the hard way that you can’t use paparazzi photos without paying the paparazzi,” he said. “But the early 2000s were a different time.”
