Amy Adams, the celebrated actress known for her roles in Enchanted and Nightbitch, has revealed her admiration for Taylor Swift and her enthusiasm about the possibility of portraying the singer’s publicist, Tree Paine, in a potential biographical film. This revelation came during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on December 4, 2024, when Adams reacted to the growing petition from Swifties advocating for her to take on the role.
Swiftie at 50
Adams, 50, shared that her newfound passion for Swift’s music has reached a new height, thanks to her daughter, Aviana, who is 14 years old. “I mean, I’ve always liked her music and appreciated her,” Adams said, explaining that her fandom truly flourished after attending Swift’s Eras Tour. “And then I went to the Eras Tour. A friend of mine had a ticket. And then I became, like, a Swiftie at 50. So I’m like a shifty Swiftie at 50.”
This humorous take on her late-blooming fandom resonated with host Jimmy Fallon, who joked about trademarking the phrase. However, Adams embraced the moment, further adding, “Isn’t that nifty?” Despite her daughter’s playful teasing about her sudden obsession with Swift, Adams confessed to fully embracing her “Swiftie” identity, noting how she now finds herself wearing friendship bracelets—a key fan symbol from Swift’s tours.
A Chance to Get Closer to Taylor Swift
When asked about the possibility of playing Tree Paine, a longtime collaborator of Swift and her close friend, Adams responded eagerly, stating, “Uh, that would be amazing.” She added that if taking on such a role meant she could get closer to Swift, it would be an exciting opportunity. Known for her striking red hair, Adams joked that the resemblance between herself and Paine only added to the potential fun of the role. “If it got me closer to Taylor, then that would be fun,” Adams remarked.
Adams’ connection to Swift is not only rooted in her growing fandom but also in a memorable encounter from years ago. She recalled singing karaoke with Swift at an awards show afterparty, performing 4 Non Blondes’ “What’s Up?” while humorously admitting that she “sang really loud over Taylor Swift” and probably didn’t do it justice.
Swift’s Global Phenomenon
Swift’s Eras Tour has become a global sensation, setting records and captivating fans worldwide. The tour, which will wrap up in Vancouver on December 8, 2024, after nearly two years, has become the highest-grossing concert tour of all time, surpassing the $1 billion mark in 2023. Celebrities, including Selena Gomez, Emma Stone, Serena Williams, Salma Hayek, and even Prince William, have been spotted at various concert venues, sharing in the excitement of Swift’s performances.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson also shared that he had to “pull strings” to secure tickets to the show, explaining how difficult it was for him to ask for such a favor, even though he had to do so for his family. He told Entertainment Tonight, “I’m never good at asking for that kind of stuff. I’m good at giving it. Hate asking for stuff. But in this case, made a little call. Taylor made it happen.”
Adams in Nightbitch
While Amy Adams may be a fan of Taylor Swift, she’s also been making waves with her own work in film. Her latest movie, Nightbitch, a black comedy exploring primal motherhood, is already generating buzz for awards consideration.
In the film, Adams plays a stay-at-home mom who starts to physically transform into a dog. The movie is set to open in theaters on December 6, 2024, and has already caught the attention of critics.
