Summary

New Girl star Max Greenfield pays tribute to Taylor Swift's guest appearance on the show with a friendship bracelet referencing the episode she appeared in.

Throughout the series, New Girl incorporates references to Swift and her music, showcasing her evident influence. Despite creating a minor plot hole with her cameo, the impact of Swift on the show surpasses this flaw. Her music deeply connects with the characters' journey of self-discovery and navigating the challenges of adulthood.

New Girl star Max Greenfield pays tribute to Taylor Swift's Eras Tour by referencing a memorable moment from season 2. In 2013, Swift made a guest appearance on the Fox comedy as Elaine, causing chaos at Cece's arranged wedding. Inspired by Swift's song "Speak Now," this interruption led to a confession of true feelings and a friendship bracelet from Greenfield.

Based on one of Swift's lyrics, a concert tradition has fans exchanging friendship bracelets. Through a series of Instagram posts, Greenfield proudly displays his collection, which features a bracelet that reads, "Elaine's Big Day," in reference to the episode where Swift made a guest appearance.

How Taylor Swift Influenced New Girl

The bracelet received a positive reception due to the significant overlap between Swift fans and New Girl viewers. Jess (Zooey Deschanel), the show's main character who is an outgoing and eccentric teacher, serves as the perfect example of a proud Swift fan. There is a scene, now a viral meme, where Jess is shown crying and holding a glass of wine while uttering the words, "I just wanted to listen to Taylor Swift alone."

Swift is frequently mentioned in New Girl, with characters describing emotions similar to Taylor Swift's and referring to her high-profile move to New York City. There is also a viral moment where Jess dances to Swift's song "22." Despite Swift's cameo creating a small plot hole, her influence on the series is undeniable. Like her music, each character in the show is navigating early adulthood and figuring out life step by step. Swift's music could serve as the perfect soundtrack for the series, capturing the ups and downs of relationships and friendships. New Girl remains a beloved show from the 2010s, and its stars hold a special place in their hearts for it.
