Taylor Swift gets interviewed by Ryan Adams

Musicians Taylor Swift and Ryan Adams.

Taylor Swift has told rocker Ryan Adams she got her inspiration for 1989 from characters in John Hughes films.

Adams, who recently covered Swift's 1989 album in its entirety, interviewed her for GQ magazine.

In the video Adams looks very rock 'n' roll in sunglasses and a denim jacket while Swift is clad in all black.

Adams says he listens to The Smiths if he's struggling to write music while Swift says she watches John Hughes movies.

"1989 I wrote when I was single, I didn't have much intense drama going on. I was like living for my friends and I was living in New York and everything was exciting. So to access those emotions again I would put myself into other people's perspectives," Swift told Adams.

Taylor Swift was interviewed by Ryan Adams who covered her 1989 album.

She had nothing but praise for Adams' interpretation of her hit album.

"You know when actors say a line, they say a sentence but they say it with different emphasis on different words and they completely change it. That's what you did with my album," Swift told Adams.

The pair also discussed their love-hate relationship with Apple personal assistant program Siri.

"If you get really bored you can ask it a bunch of stupid questions and it gives you really sassy answers," said Swift.

So Adams asked Siri how to end the interview.

"Siri is unavailable," said the phone.

"Oh snap," said Adams.

"She's never there for us when we need her," said Swift.
