Amy Adams revealed on Wednesday that’s she’s now a die-hard Taylor Swift fan and would jump at the chance to play a role in any future film about the pop superstar.
The six-time Oscar nominee, 50, couldn’t contain her excitement during The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon when the host told her that Swift fans had started a petition for her to play the singer’s long-time publicist Tree Paine in a potential biopic.
‘That would be amazing,’ Adams exclaimed. ‘That would be so fun. I mean… if it got me closer to Taylor, then that would be fun.’
The internet buzzed with excitement at the idea, particularly after fan Hunter Harris tweeted, ‘Amy Adams will win an Oscar for Tree Paine’s biopic,’ highlighting the striking physical resemblance between Adams and Paine, not least their signature red hair.
Paine, 53, has been Swift’s publicist since 2014 and has cultivated a loyal fan base, with many Swifties praising her for her fiercely protective approach toward Taylor.
Adams, meanwhile, revealed that her Swift fandom reached new heights, all thanks to her 14-year-old daughter, Aviana, whom she shares with husband Darren Le Gallo.
‘I mean, I’ve always liked her music and appreciated her,’ Adams said. ‘And then I went to the Eras Tour. A friend of mine had a ticket. And then I became, like, a Swiftie at 50. So I’m like a shifty Swiftie at 50.’

Taylor Swift fans outraged as Eras Tour book sells eye-popping amount
In the movie, Adams plays a stay-at-home mother who believes she’s transforming into a dog at night, exploring themes of motherhood, identity, and isolation.
The psychological comedy-horror, directed by Marielle Heller and based on Rachel Yoder’s acclaimed novel, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, earning a 72% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Amy has received a total of six Academy Award nominations throughout her career, including one for Best Actress for her role in American Hustle and five for Best Supporting Actress for films such as Junebug, Doubt, The Fighter, The Master, and Vice.
Despite her impressive performances, she has yet to win an Oscar, making her one of the most nominated actresses without a victory in Academy history.
Her late show appearance comes after Swifties went wild after Taylor responded to her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s nomination for NFL ‘Man of the Year’ award.
The star revealed her pride at Kelce’s nomination for the NFL’s Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, after liking a Kansas City Chiefs post on Instagram.
‘That would be amazing,’ Adams exclaimed. ‘That would be so fun. I mean… if it got me closer to Taylor, then that would be fun’

On Instagram, the Chiefs shared a post highlighting how Kelce’s impact ‘reaches further than the football field,’ accompanied by a video where he spoke about his life. Swift wasted no time hitting the ‘like’ button.
Naturally, fans were quick to spot her engagement, flooding the comment section with their reactions. ‘Omg Taylor liked this!!’ one fan wrote, while another added, ‘Sobbing Taylor liked this aw.’
Kelce and Swift have been dating for more than a year, and the pop sensation hasn’t missed a single game at Arrowhead this season.
On Black Friday, she was there again, this time with her parents, to watch the Chiefs pull off a narrow win against the Las Vegas Raiders.
