Singer Zayn Malik says he went red when Taylor Swift praised him in front of his girlfriend Gigi Hadid.
The 23-year-old pop star said he prefers not to ask industry peers for feedback on his music.
"I spoke a bit to Taylor. At Gigi's house we briefly spoke and she told me she really enjoyed the album. It was nice to get some feedback. She said she thought I was cool and I kind of blushed a bit and didn't know how to take it.
Despite being in continuous limelight the former One Direction star said he is still not comfortable in hanging out with celebrities.
"I haven't done much acclimating. I'm just staying the way that I am. I think that's the best way to keep your sanity. You've got to hold on to what you are and not let things get to your head, because if you do, that's when everything comes crashing down terribly.
