Who Should Play Whom in a Taylor Swift Biopic?
With Timothée Chalamet portraying Bob Dylan, Angelina Jolie taking on Maria Callas, and Paul Mescal alongside Barry Keoghan gearing up for iconic roles in Sam Mendes’s Beatles film, fans of musician biopics have plenty to look forward to. But it doesn’t stop there. Enter Amy Adams, the six-time Oscar nominee who mentioned her interest in playing Taylor Swift’s legendary publicist Tree Paine should a project arise. While no official plans exist for such a film yet, speculation abounds regarding potential casting.
Dream Casting: Bringing Taylor’s Story to Life
Margot Robbie as Taylor Swift
Robbie has already demonstrated her ability to embody iconic figures with her role in “Barbie,” making her a prime candidate for playing the pop icon. Her similar age and close friendship with Swift could lend authenticity and depth to this portrayal.
Sadie Sink as Young Tree Paine
Though it’s unclear what role a younger Paine would play, considering their adult meeting, Sadie Sink’s talent for capturing complex characters makes her an ideal choice. Perhaps a creative flashback could weave her into the narrative.
James Van Der Beek as Travis Kelce
The former Dawson’s Creek star would need some training to mirror Kelce’s athletic physique, but considering his own acting ventures, he might even play himself with Swift’s endorsement.
Donna Kelce as Herself
Having starred in a Hallmark movie, Donna Kelce seems ready for her role. Her potential portrayal of a future mother-of-the-groom in the biopic reflects both humor and anticipation.
Johnny Flynn as Joe Alwyn
If Alwyn opts out of starring himself, Johnny Flynn could be his doppelganger. His background in music adds an intriguing layer to this casting possibility.
Timothée Chalamet as Matty Healy
The French actor has the talent for embodying diverse and intricate characters like Healy, known for being a chainsmoking British rockstar. His range seems well-suited for such a role.
Alana Hadid as Gigi Hadid
Gigi’s close friendship with Swift makes her an essential part of any biopic, and Alana Hadid could bring authenticity and familial depth to the character.
Reneé Rapp as Cara Delevingne
These two friends, who’ve been Megan Thee Stallion’s bodyguards, share a striking resemblance. Reneé’s existing British accent would be perfect for capturing Delevingne’s essence.
Florence Pugh as Karlie Kloss
The complex relationship between Swift and Kloss necessitates someone who can convey both friendship and rivalry—traits Florence Pugh excels at portraying. With some styling tricks, she could perfectly capture Kloss’s look.
