Taylor Swift isn’t one to hand out praises that easily, and it also holds especially true in this case. The singer-songwriter had the perfect response to Dakota Johnson being featured on TIME, and here’s what she had to say!
Taylor Swift opens up on Dakota Johnson’s ‘authenticity’
Taylor Swift spoke about Dakota Johnson being featured in TIME’s 100. She praised the actress’s realness and authenticity, but also had a sweet message that conveyed her thoughts about the milestone.
“Nearly 20 years into her fascinatingly varied and eclectic career, everyone is still getting to know Dakota. And it seems the more they learn, the more there is to fall in love with. In recent years, as she’s promoted her films, the name ‘Dakota Johnson’ has become synonymous with refreshing honesty in a world of media-trained answers. Maybe it’s her sing-song vocal delivery, serenely answering questions with such frank candor that it makes you feel like maybe this girl just … can’t lie?!
Over the years, fans have praised Johnson for her no-nonsense attitude. Her attitude, personality, and, most importantly, her humor, are what make her lovable and relatable, as most netizens suggest.
The fact that she isn’t afraid to put even interviewers in a tight spot is precisely what makes her ‘real.’ But it is also Johnson’s curiosity that seems to be an allure for Swift, as she revealed in her message.
The singer praised Johnson for her performances in Splitsville and Materialists, but that’s not all. She has not only acted in various genres but also lent her voice to various documentaries and even worked on independent movies, both as an actor and as a producer.
Swift and Johnson’s friendship goes back to 2014, and they’ve been spotted a couple of times at dinners and parties. Johnson even did a hilarious SNL skit back in 2024 where she referenced Swift as a powerful person in America, and most fans on the internet seemed to have loved it.
Not only that, Jonson has praised Swift for being a creative force and has commended the singer for her impressive discography, her songwriting process, and her vision.
