Sophie Turner and Taylor Swift’s Friendship Over the Years

Turner and Swift’s friendship seemingly began when they both appeared on “The Graham Norton Show” in May 2019. At the time, Turner was promoting her new film “Dark Phoenix,” while Swift was in the midst of her “Lover” era. Despite the fact that Turner had just gotten married to Jonas weeks prior, she and Swift were nothing but nice toward each other on the show.

Swift later expressed her excitement over meeting Turner and the rest of the “Dark Phoenix” cast on Instagram. “Feeling pretty lucky that I got to be a guest on the same night as @sophiet, Michael Fassbender, @Jessicachastain and @Jamesmcavoyrealdeal,” Swift wrote (via People), before urging her fans to go support the film. “They were all so sweet, now I want to just walk around yelling GO SEE DARK PHOENIX.”

Following their joint interview, Turner gushed over Swift while on the red carpet for the premiere of “Dark Phoenix.” When asked what it was like having Swift “fangirl” over her, Turner praised the singer by calling her “a really sweet girl” in an interview with “Extra.”

Turner then confirmed that she and Swift had met in person “a couple of times” and that they’re friends. Although the two hang out, Turner still can’t help but “fangirl” over Swift like everybody else. “I don’t think Taylor Swift fangirls over me. I think I fangirl over her,” she said.

After Swift dropped “Folklore” in July 2020, fans suspected she’d referenced Turner and Jonas in her song “Invisible String.” During the track’s third verse, Swift reveals she’s now on good terms with one of her exes. “For the boys who broke my heart, now I send their babies presents,” she sings. Considering Turner and Jonas were expecting their first child together at the time, fans naturally assumed the lyric was about them. However, Swift has never confirmed who inspired the line.

Following the release of “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” in April 2021, Turner supported the record on Instagram by sharing a screenshot of her listening to Swift’s “Mr. Perfectly Fine.” The song was one of the album’s “from the vault” tracks that wasn’t on Swift’s original 2008 album. Since Swift and Jonas briefly dated the same year “Fearless” dropped, fans theorized that “Mr. Perfectly Fine” was about her relationship with the Disney alum.

Turner fueled the rumors on her Instagram Story. “It’s not NOT a bop,” she wrote about the track. After seeing her message, Swift reposted Turner’s comment on her own Story and then praised the actor, writing, “Forever bending the knee to the ? of the north.”

In November 2021, Swift performed her 10-minute version of “All Too Well” on “Saturday Night Live.” According to Elle, several of the star’s famous friends were in the “SNL” audience to support the singer, including Turner and Jonas. Later that night, the couple were seen attending an “SNL” afterparty hosted by Swift.

Weeks after Turner and Jonas confirmed their divorce on Instagram, the actor was photographed hanging out with Swift in New York City on two separate occasions, as seen in pictures published by Page Six and Cosmopolitan.
