Taylor Swift is healing from breakups one playlist at a time.
According to actress Jessica Chastain, the “Anti-Hero” hitmaker sent her a breakup playlist to help her get through the breakup after they met at the Met Gala in 2011.
“She was so cute,” she gushed during her Friday night appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
“I was going through a breakup and I talked to her about it and we went and danced together. It was such a fun evening.”
“And then the next day,” she continued, “I got an email from iTunes saying 'Taylor Swift' or whatever, and I just thought it was a Taylor Swift album.”

It turns out it was a real playlist created by the one and only Swift, now 34, who was releasing her first three albums at the time.

“I was going through a breakup and I talked to her about it and we went dancing together,” Chastain recalled of the night they became friends at the 2011 Met Gala.

“Isn’t that the sweetest thing?” Chastain, 46, asked host Jimmy Fallon, who said the kind gesture was “unbelievable.”
Chastain, who made sure to mention that she had just gotten her big break when she met Swift and had no films to speak of yet, added, “And here I thought it was like an ad for Taylor Swift.”
“And she had sort of curated all these breakup songs to send to me to help me get through my breakup!”

The two have remained friends over the years, and the “Interstellar” star flew to Mexico City to watch Swift do her thing on her Eras tour over the summer.
It's not clear what breakup Chastain was going through when she first met the “Cruel Summer” singer, but just a year later she met who would become her husband.
She dated Italian businessman Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo for several years before they tied the knot at his family's northern Italian estate in 2017.
They now have two children.

And of course, the 12-time Grammy winner's love life is going well too, as she's been dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce since July.
Swift recently opened up about her romance in her 2023 Time Person of the Year profile, saying she and Kelce, 34, plan to be vocal in their support of each other and not worry about the spotlight they're in.
“When you say a relationship is public, it means that I see him doing what he loves, that we are there for each other, there are other people, and we don't care,” she told the publication.
“The opposite of that is that you have to go to great lengths to make sure no one knows you're seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”
