Swift told Lucky in a recent interview that she and her friends in the band Haim were on a boat when they realized paparazzi were using long lenses to snap photos of them in bikinis. Swift and her friends then decided to take better pictures of themselves and post them to Instagram, devaluing the paparazzi’s snaps. “Okay, so they got pictures of us in our bikinis, like, I don’t want them to make like $100,000 for stalking us,” Swift said. “So we’re like, ‘Get up on the bow of the boat.
