Jessica Chastain Says Taylor Swift Made Her A Breakup Playlist: ‘The Sweetest Thing’
HuffPost
The “Zero Dark Thirty” star said she had just gone through a breakup when she met the pop star — who crafted an audible care package.
Jessica Chastain met Taylor Swift over a decade ago — but never forgot her kindness.
The “Zero Dark Thirty” star appeared on “The Tonight Show” Friday and told Jimmy Fallon about meeting the pop star at the Met Gala in 2011. Chastain had just started branching out from roles on TV to feature films — and couldn’t believe how thoughtful the singer was.
“I just went through a breakup, and I was talking to her about that,” said Chastain. “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,’ whatever, and I just thought it was a Taylor Swift album.”
“She had made me a breakup playlist that she sent me,” she continued. “Isn’t that the sweetest thing? Here I thought it was like a Taylor Swift advertisement, and it was like, wait a minute — she curated all these breakup songs to … help me get through my breakup.”
Chastain decided not to name her former flame Friday but reportedly dated filmmaker Ned Benson for four years until 2010. They apparently met through friends in 2006 and made a movie, “The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby,” that starred James McAvoy.
