While Swift was in the process of selecting photos — but before choosing Diddy — Ray joked that the Teenage Dream singer was “going on an awkward prom date.”

When Swift held up all the photos, Ray shouted: ‘No way! Check it out! It’s a group! So why, why this amazing group of people?’

‘This is proof that she only knew Diddy in passing,’ another commenter wrote. ‘If she thought he was a gentleman, she was saying ‘hello, goodbye’.’

One theorized: “Diddys was always so nice to me ‘he was trying to save himself.'” Another commented: “Back when we were all this naive” with a tearful emoji.

‘Mom Swift would never let Taylor hangout at Diddy’s! I can’t even imagine. Gotta love that she had good parental guidance growing up in the industry. A Swift fan defended #lovemommaswift.

Diddy was arrested last month on federal charges of racketeering, conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation for the purpose of prostitution.

He is awaiting trial at the infamous Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, where Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and R Kelly were previously held.

Appears on DailyMail.com’s hit podcast Diddy’s TrialPrison expert Larry Levine said Diddy was visited daily by a psychiatric team.

“He’s not actually on suicide watch, but I have an inside source tell me that he has someone who comes to visit him several times a day, you know, to make sure he’s okay,” Levine noted on the podcast.

‘My sources tell me (Diddy) takes extra showers a week,’ he claimed. I don’t know how many there are. It probably changes. They give them extra privileges.’
