Taylor Swift has quipped that she feared for her life during a kitchen mishap in her swanky $50 million (£39.5 million) New York City pad.

The 34-year-old songstress‘ good friend Gracie Abrams shared the hair-raising tale on Instagram, posting a video of Taylor battling the blaze with a fire extinguisher.

In the clip, a flustered Taylor is seen dealing with a flaming pan, exclaiming: “What do I do about this?” before seizing the extinguisher and pondering, “So I cut this with a knife? I think we’re going to die.”

As Taylor grappled with the extinguisher, struggling to discharge the foam, Gracie chimed in with guidance, saying: “Just press it.”

The Grammy-winning artist then branded the device a “b****” but ultimately succeeded in dousing the fire.

After the commotion, Taylor remarked: “Our purses are ruined. And my shoes. And the whole room, I think.”

While Gracie noted: “It smells really good, though.”

Before the fiery fiasco, the duo had been engrossed in crafting their track Us, which premiered on Friday as part of Gracie’s debut album The Secret of Us.

Reflecting on the songwriting session, which spanned from 2am to 6am, and the subsequent conflagration, Gracie recalled: “Writing this entire song… was some of the most fun I’ve ever had in my life.”
