Taylor Swift Gifts Jessica Chastain a Heartfelt Breakup Playlist
Back in 2011, when Taylor Swift and Jessica Chastain crossed paths at the Met Gala, Swift had a special surprise for her newfound friend. Struggling with her recent split, Chastain expressed her feelings to Swift during their chat. Their shared giggles echoed the night, with Chastain recalling, "We talked about it, and we danced. It was just a really fun night."
The following day, Chastain received an unexpected email from iTunes, typed with "Taylor Swift" as the sender. It wasn't a Swift album, but indeed, a breakup playlist curated by the pop star herself.
"She planned all these breakup songs and gifted them to me to help me overcome my separation," reminisced an delighted Chastain. "It felt like a Taylor Swift commercial – the sheer sweetness of it!"
Fast forward to a decade, and Chastain had flown all the way to Mexico City for Swift's "Eras Tour." Their friendship had stood the test of time, mirroring the resilience embedded in Swift's soundtracks that had helped Chastain through her darker times.
Entertainment, it seemed, played a pivotal role in their bond, giving birth to countless conversations revolving around music and movies.
On a different note, a search yielded no direct evidence of Taylor Swift personally aiding Jessica Chastain through a breakup playlist, though there were reports of Swift compiling a breakup playlist for someone [1]. In a separate context, Chastain received the 38th American Cinematheque Award, where her emotional state was discussed [1], but there was no mention of Swift or a personalized playlist.
