It's been over a decade since
Jessica Chastain first crossed paths with Taylor Swift, and the actress will
always remember how the pop star helped her navigate a challenging breakup.
During a recent episode of The Tonight Show, the star of The Memory recalled meeting Taylor Swift at the Met Gala in 2011. Chastain shared the memory with host Jimmy Fallon, describing it as the first year she was invited to the Met Ball and the first year her movies were out.
In the inaugural year of my Met
Ball invitation and the first year my movies hit the screens, Taylor Swift and
I found ourselves seated in close proximity. Ryan Murphy, who was on the brink
of success with his TV shows, was beside us. During our conversation, I opened
up about recently going through a breakup. Taylor was incredibly sweet and
understanding. We even hit the dance floor together, making it a genuinely
enjoyable night.
The Molly’s Game actress had no idea that the following morning would bring a special email into her inbox, especially from someone renowned for her iconic breakup tunes.
I received an email from iTunes the
next day, mentioning Taylor Swift, or something like that, and I initially
thought it was a new Taylor Swift album, Chastain recounted. However, it turned
out to be a breakup playlist that she had created and sent to me. Isn’t that
the sweetest thing? ... Initially, I thought it was just a Taylor Swift
advertisement, but then I realized she had curated this collection of breakup
songs to help me cope with my breakup.
Swift and Chastain had a recent
reunion at one of the Grammy-winning singer's Eras Tour performances in Mexico
City in August. During that time, the actress posted a carousel of photos from
the night on Instagram with the caption, “Spamming
u w really good @taylorswift Eras Tour content.”
