Emma Stone: Her Discreet Participation in Taylor Swift’s New Album | Marie Claire

Efrom her most famous collaborators Taylor Swift on the new album “The Tortured Poets” he has never released a single – but he has won two Oscars.

For Swift’s new song “Florida,” the singer “recruited” her good friend and La La Land actress Emma Stone to help with the song.

“‘Florida’ is a song I wrote with Florence and the Machine and I think I was coming up with this idea of ​​what happens when your life doesn’t fit or when the choices you’ve made catch up with you,” Swift told iHeartRadio about the song’s creation.

The singer emphasized that sometimes in life “you’re surrounded by these harsh consequences and judgment, and circumstances haven’t led you to where you thought you would be, and you just want to get away from everything you’ve known.”

Swift also said she’s “always watching” Dateline and noted how “people commit crimes, leave town and go? They’re going to Florida.”

“I think when you’re going through heartbreak, there’s a part of you that thinks, ‘I don’t want anyone to know where I’ve been or know me,'” continued to the agency. “So that was the starting point behind where you would go to discover yourself and blend in? Florida!”.

So, in the credits of the song, there is the name “Emily Jean Stone”, which is the full name of actress Emma Stone. It could just be a coincidence, of course, but all evidence points to Stone actually collaborating with Taylor Swift, although her role is not yet known.

Aside from the references to hurricanes, hot weather, swamps, Florida is also significant as it served as the location for Swift’s first performances back on The Eras Tour following her split from Joe Alwyn after six years of dating.

Taylor Swift and Emma Stone they have been friends since 2008. They met at the Young Hollywood Awards and have been supporting each other ever since.

“It’s very important to have people who support you. Emma, ​​Selena and I have had so many life changes over the years, but our friendship has remained the same. This is very beautiful”Taylor Swift said in an interview in 2012.

Over the years, Swift has continued to support Stone’s acting endeavors, appearing at the premieres of Stone’s Broadway debut Cabaret, The Favorite (which also starred Alwyn), and Poor Things in 2023.

“Florida” isn’t the first time Stone’s name has been in the same conversation as Swift’s music.

When the singer released “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” on July 7, 2023, fans noted that Stone was likely the inspiration behind the song “When Emma Falls in Love,” as a supposed reference to the actress’ relationship with Kiernan Culkin from 2010 to 2011. Swift never directly confirmed this report, but stated during an Eras Tour stop in Kansas City that the track was written for one of her best friends.
