'It felt good!': Bella Hadid's beau The Weeknd says Taylor Swift pet his hair while she was 'gone off a few drinks' during their first encounter

The Weeknd may be dating one of the hottest up-and-comers in the modelling world.

But that didn't stop pop mega star Taylor Swift from getting a little flirtatious with the crooner.

The 25-year-old crooner - real name Abel Tesfaye - opened up about an interesting alcohol-fuelled interaction with the Bad Blood singer, also aged 25.

The Can't Feel My Face hitmaker said Taylor got a little touchy-feely with him during their first encounter together in the accompanying article for his Rolling Stone cover.

At first the blonde beauty told him of her admiration for his music as The Weeknd explained: 'She actually schooled me on my own s***

'She was like, "I've been listening to The Morning  [from his first mixtape House of Balloons, released in 2011] for years — it's one of my favorite songs ever!" I mean, she might have just Googled it. But she seemed genuine.'

After about 15 minutes of hanging out the two got a bit more familiar with one another as the Earned It singer said: 'But the whole time she was talking, she was kind of, like, petting my hair? 

'I think she was just drawn to it — she must have been a little gone off a few drinks.'

The Weekend continued: 'And of course I'm not going to be like, "Hey, can you stop?" I mean, it felt good! But when she started petting my hair, that's when I was like, "I definitely need a drink."'

The Canadian singer is currently in a relationship with 19-year-old model Bella Hadid as they have been spotted on recent outings together including her birthday in New York a week-and-a-half ago.

Ooze sex appeal in these Saint Laurent lace up pumps

Bella Hadid just turned 19 and she has already accomplished a lot more than some people twice her age. The supermodel celebrated her big day at Nobu in NYC where she sported a chunky knit sweater, high-waisted jeans and a pair of Saint Laurent heels.

The lace up pumps added a dose of luxury to Bella's otherwise relaxed ensemble. We love the pointy toe silhouette and neutral sleek black tone.

The lace up motif is huge this season with brands like Aquazurra, Rodarte and more getting in on the look. Now you can too with a click to the right.

And if the nearly $900 price tag is a bit too much, emulate this style with the alternatives below. Jeffrey Campbell has a nearly identical version for just $150!
