Taylor Swift went well above and beyond the usual level of support for a friend coping with a breakup, sending Jessica Chastain a “curated” playlist to help her through the experience.
Chastain recounted the story about her interaction with the pop superstar on Friday on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. (The anecdote comes about halfway through the clip above.)
Chastain said the episode followed her first time meeting Swift in 2011 at the Met Gala in New York, where the two sat with each other at dinner and had a full night of talking and dancing. During their chats, Chastain confided at one point that she had just been through a breakup.
“The next day, I had an email from iTunes that said ‘Taylor Swift,’” Chastain recalled. “I just thought it was a Taylor Swift album. She had made me a breakup playlist that she sent me — isn’t that the sweetest thing?! Here, I thought it was a Taylor Swift advertisement. And it was like, ‘Wait a minute!’ And she had curated all of these breakup songs to send me to help me get through my breakup.”
Fallon pushed his chair back from his desk and marveled, “That’s why she’s who she is.”
The story was prompted by Fallon showing a social media post by Chastain showing her backstage this year at a Mexico City stop on Swift’s blockbuster Eras Tour.
Chastain appeared on Tonight to promote the film Memory, which has drawn strong notices for her performance as well as that of co-star Peter Sarsgaard.
