Taylor Swift’s strength is in her songwriting and her music aids the storytelling in the newly released movie, Voicemails for Isabelle.
Zoey Deutch, the actress who plays the protagonist Jill in the movie, gushed over the pop superstar’s songs in a new interview.
The 31-year-old actress and producer excitedly told People Magazine, “Okay, humblebrag but not humble, we have two Tay Swift songs. As a Swiftie? That’s crazy.”
Nick Robinson, who plays her love interest Jill, chimed in to add, “That’s huge.”
The movie includes the Grammy winner’s marjorie from folklore and New Year’s Day from Reputation, both placed in significant and poignant plot points in the movie.
The Vampire Academy actress told the outlet that her surprise was great when she found out the movie could include Swift’s songs.
“I’m a Swiftie, and it meant a lot, clearly. I don’t know how it happened. I’m thrilled. I saw the first cut. When I saw the first cut, I was like, ‘Oh, it’s temp music. What are you going to actually get there?’ [Director Leah McKendrick] was like, ‘No, we got them.’ “
In a true Swiftie fashion, Wes also quotes the songstress in a scene, saying, “I’m sorry. The old Wes can’t come to the phone right now. Because he’s dead” referring to the iconic lyrics from Look What You Made Me Do.
Not only did the movie include Swift’s music, but it is also scored by one of her best friends, Este Haim.
