Is there a better friendly relationship in Hollywood ?
It’sThe Tortured Poets Departmentrelease day! On Friday,Taylor Swiftdropped her 11th studio album.
The Tortured Poets DepartmentfeaturesPost Maloneand Florence + the Machine guest appearances. There’s also a second volume calledThe Anthology. There are 31 new songs from Taylor in total, and they’ve taken the internet by storm.
Fans are dissecting lyrics to hypothesize if certain songs might be about Taylor’s boyfriendTravis Kelceor her exJoe Alwyn.
Some are even convinced Taylor is singing about her reported fling withMatty Healylast year and her years-long feud with Kim Kardashian on other tracks.
But there’s another celebrity connected to the album (in addition to Taylor’s frequent collaborators Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner), and this person is one of Taylor’s longtime pals.
It’s Emma Stone.
According toPeople, the actor received a credit on “Florida!!!,” which is Taylor’s song that features Florence + the Machine. The extent of Emma’s involvement with the song is unclear.Entertainment Weeklyreports that Emma is listed in the song’s liner notes as having contributed “oddities.”
This isn’t the first time Emma has been associated with one of Taylor’s songs. In July 2023, Taylor dropped a track titled"When Emma Falls in Love"on her re-released version ofSpeak Now.
While neither Emma nor Taylor have confirmed the song is about the actor, fans have speculated that “When Emma Falls in Love” was written about thePoor Thingsstar. Notably, the song wasreportedlyamong the tracks written for but not included on the originalSpeak Nowrelease in 2010, meaning it’s been around for a while.
This would track with Emma and Taylor’s friendship, as theyreportedly first metat the Young Hollywood Awards in 2008.
They’ve maintained a strong friendship over the years, like when Taylor attended the premiere of Emma’s movieEasy Ain 2010.
Or whenEmma presented Taylorwith an award at the 2011 Teen Choice Awards.
More recently, Taylor was spotted attending a screening forPoor Thingsin December of last year.
And backstage at the Golden Globes in January, Emma Stoneeven jokingly said of Taylor Swiftcheering on her Best Actress Musical or Comedy win that night forPoor Things, “What an asshole, am I right?”
Taylor was in attendance as she and her concert filmTaylor Swift: The Eras Tourwere nominated in a new category, Best Cinematic and Box Office Achievement.
Emmaaddedat the Golden Globes of Taylor, “I’ve known her for almost 20 years, and I was very happy she was there. Taylor was also nominated tonight which was wonderful and, yes, what an asshole.” What a friendship!
