Like, all the way back to the OG Fearless era. 🥹

Excuse me, hi, if you’re one of the Swifties who believes “When Emma Falls In Love” is about one Oscar winner Emma Stone, then this one’s for you. It’s not a far-fetched theory—especially since Emma playfully addressed it at the New York premiere of her movie Poor Things in 2023. The actor’s sweet friendship with Taylor Swift goes way back—like, all the way back to the OG Fearless era in 2008, which means they’ve been connected for 16 years (!!!).

Emma reveals that Taylor played Speak Now for her before it dropped in an interview with MTV News. “I was lucky enough to hear it pretty early on, so it’s so exciting for it to be out and own the songs instead of just be singing them [in my head],” she told the outlet.

She also noted that Tay is a “pretty normal girl” and “she’s not [like], ‘I am one of the world’s most popular singers.'”

Both Taylor and Emma had a huge night at the 2011 Teen Choice Awards, where the singer snagged a few awards. Emma presented her with the surfboard for the teens’ Ultimate Choice of the year:
