Taylor Swift and Joni Mitchell may not be getting off to a good start-with each other!

E! Online reported that Taylor Swift and Joni Mitchell got embroiled in a spat in which the folk legend criticized the singer's acting skills.

Swift had this to say about portraying Mitchell in the big screen adaptation of the book, "Girls Like Us" when Time magazine interviewed her:

"The thing about movies that I've learned is-I've been reading scripts for five years, and you just don't know what ones are going to get green lit and which ones aren't, so I can't talk about it unless it's the real thing."

Taylor Swift and Joni Mitchell continued to get entangled into Mitchell's apparent criticisms aimed against Swift when the singer further said in a Rolling Stone interview this year:

When I first started drinking...I used to cry about Joni Mitchell all the time after a few glasses of wine,"

"All my friends would know, once I started crying about Joni Mitchell, it was time for me to go to bed."

Mitchell was subsequently frank when giving her opinion about Swift's acting skills in an interview with The Sunday Times. Apparently, Mitchell was not happy with the thought of Swift playing her in the big screen:

"I squelched that. I said to the producer, 'All you've got is a girl with high cheekbones.'"

In 2012, Swift had these comments to say in an interview with Time about doing more acting:

"I would love to sign on to do a movie if it was the right role and if it was the right script, because I would be taking time away from music to tell a big grand story, and spend all of my time and pouring all of my emotions into being someone else. So, for me to do that, it would have to be a story worth telling."
