The 35-year-old actress confirmed that she will not pick any jokes about her friend, Taylor Swift, from now on. This happened in an interview with Variety, where the director of Poor Things, Yorgos Lanthimos, was also present.
The Spider-Man actress revealed how she received hate for calling the Lover singer an “a-hole” backstage in January 2024. In the same interview, Emma said, “I definitely won’t make a joke like that again.” She added, “Because I saw headlines that really pulled it out of context.” The Zombieland actress then pointed to herself, saying, “What a dope.”
What happened backstage at the Golden Globe Awards?
The Midnights singer and Emma Stone were spotted together backstage at the Golden Globe Awards on January 7, 2024. Emma also took the trophy home for Best Actress in Poor Things. When she was announced as the winner, Keleigh Sperry and Taylor Swift stood up, giving a standing ovation to their friend.
When people asked about the Blank Space singer’s support, Emma replied, “What an a–hole, am I right?” She added, “I’ve known her for almost 20 years, so I’m very happy she was there. She was also nominated tonight, so I’m very happy she was there — but what an a–hole.” This created agitation among the Swifties, who trolled Emma Stone for quite some time until she spoke about the matter in an interview with Variety.
The two have known each other since 2008, when they first crossed paths at the Young Hollywood Awards. In June 2023, Emma Stone revealed to Vanity Fair how Swift had helped her get tickets for the sold-out Eras Tour. This shows that the two girls are great friends.
