Queen of music and hearts, Taylor Swift,
is no stranger to the
silver screen. The pop royalty may be more famous for her heartbreak-defining melodies
through many eras, but she also flexes movie credits with special roles and
cameos. Moreover, she always had an invisible string attached to the Marvel
Cinematic Universe. Speculated for some time to be working on something, behind
closed doors, Swift’s connection to Marvel is a curious one, and its drop even
reached one Thunderbolts*
stars.
Recently, an important cast member from the Thunderbolts*
movie, renamed as The New Avengers
, gave fans an insight about a special gift Taylor Swift
gave to her.
When Taylor Swift showed a great heart by surprisng a young star with her personal accessory
It has been a week since Thunderbolts*
hit the theatres
and became a summer blockbuster, but its big star cast is still working hard at
promoting the movie. The cast recently played the game of Cast Wars for
Buzzfeed Celeb, where they were asked personal questions to understand who
knows the most about each other. In the quiz, Geraldine Viswanathan revealed
that Taylor Swift gifted her a small black bag after the actress complimented the
singer for it. “She said it looked better on me, so she gave it to me”,
Viswanathan said, gushing
over Swift’s precious gift. The video was also shared by Taylor Swift Updates on X.

Geraldine Viswanathan
previously gave a detailed account of this incident on Seth Meyers’ show some months
ago. There, she informed that on meeting Taylor Swift for the first time, when
she complimented the singer of her bag, Swift gave the immediate response of “Thanks,
do you want it?”
Leaving Geraldine in disbelief, Swift then took out her stuff from her bag into her pockets and said, “I got this for free, like, you can
take it.’
So, I took her bag!”
During this Buzzfeed interview, the whole
cast was presented with the question of guessing which famous celebrity was
that, which they failed to do. But listening to Swift’s name left all of
them in awe.
