Taylor Swift Once Put Her Heartbreak Experience To Good Use To Help This A-List Actress
While die-hard Swifties don’t need any excuse to love Taylor Swift even more, this special gesture she once made to a fellow celebrity has us swooning! As it turns out, back in 2011, Swift bonded with then-rising actress Jessica Chastain over something they’ll never forget.
“I met her in 2011 at the Met Ball,” Chastain said in a recent appearance at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “I just went through a breakup and I was talking to her about that, and we went and danced together. It was such a fun night.”
“And then the next day, I had an email from iTunes that said, ‘Taylor Swift’ or whatever and I just thought that it was a Taylor Swift album,” the Scenes From a Marriage star remembered. “[But] she had made me a breakup playlist. Isn’t that the sweetest thing?”
And while we don’t know what songs were on the album, although many of Swift’s songs could’ve been, the gesture is beyond adorable. “And here I thought it was like a Taylor Swift advertisement and she had curated all these breakup songs to send me to help me get through my breakup,” Chastain said. Looks like we all need a friend like Swift!
While it’s unclear who Chastain is referencing when it comes to her 2011 split, the actress met her now-husband Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo a year later in 2012. Here’s hoping Swift made a playlist about falling in love too!
Chastain and Swift’s friendship appears to have continued in the years since the sweet gesture. In fact, during her appearance, Chastain shared a picture of the two during Swift’s Eras Tour concert in Mexico City. “I was in Mexico City and she was touring there,” Chastain said, adding that her assistant, who’s a massive Swiftie herself, had “the best day of her life.” We can imagine!
