Jessica Chastain remembers the time when Taylor Swift sent her a personalized breakup playlist

Jessica Chastain credits Taylor Swift for helping her getting through a previous breakup . During an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the 46-year-old Scenes from a Marriage actress shared that Swift, 34, sent her a breakup playlist after they met at the 2011 Met Gala.

Recalling the meeting, Chastain mentioned how sweet Swift was during their first meeting at the prestigious fashion event.

Chastain mentioned that she had recently experienced a break-up and had a conversation with her friend Swift about it. They subsequently went dancing together, which Chastain described as a delightful evening.


Later, Chastain recounted receiving an email from iTunes the following day, which mentioned something about 'Taylor Swift.' She first assumed it was a Taylor Swift album. However, she later realized that Swift had created a break-up playlist specifically for her, describing it as an incredibly sweet gesture.

Chastain didn't specify the person involved in her 2011 breakup. She met her future husband, Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo, in 2012. They have been married since 2017. Chastain has consistently supported Swift, recently evidenced by a photo Fallon shared on the show of her backstage visit to Swift's Eras tour this year.

Swift and Chastain met up again during a stop on the Grammy-winning singer's Eras Tour in Mexico City in August. The actress posted a series of photos from the night on Instagram.

Chastain will soon appear alongside Peter Sarsgaard in the upcoming movie "Memory," helmed and scripted by Michel Franco. The storyline centers on Sylvia (played by Chastain), a social worker whose world unravels when Saul (Sarsgaard) unexpectedly traces her steps from their high school reunion, unveiling a journey into the past.

The movie received a nomination for the prestigious Golden Lion at the 2023 Venice International Film Festival. Additionally, at the age of 52, Sarsgaard won the Volpi Cup for Best Actor for his performance in the project.

"Memory" hits theaters across the nation on December 22.
