Taylor Swift knows it’s nice to have friends like Emma Stone and Margaret Qualley.

The 33-year-old pop star showed her support for her longtime friends by attending the premiere of their new film Poor Things at the DGA Theatre in New York City on Wednesday, December 6. She embraced her Reputation era style with an all-black ensemble, featuring a Charlotte Simone faux fur coat, long black dress, and matching heels. Her look was completed with soft face-framing curls and a bold red lip.

Additionally, 35-year-old Stone and 29-year-old Qualley also looked stunning for their big night. Stone wore a yellow floor-length gown with a diamond-encrusted flower choker, while Qualley rocked a chic, loose-fitting sheer black gown and matching pumps.

Swift has been friends with both women for many years. She connected with Qualley, 29, after the actress started dating Swift’s longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff in 2021. (The couple got married earlier this year.) Swift met Stone at the 2008 Young Hollywood Awards, and they have been close ever since.

“I listened to some of her music, and I sent her an email saying I liked her music, I swear,” Stone told MTV News in April 2010 about how she and Swift initially became friends. “And then we started talking and hanging out.”

During an interview with Access Hollywood in October 2012, Swift emphasized the significance of having trustworthy people in her life, such as her close friends Stone and Selena Gomez. She expressed gratitude for their unwavering friendship, noting that despite the many changes in their lives in recent years, their bond remained unchanged.

Stone confirmed that the duo's bond was as strong as ever when she joined the opening night of Swift's Eras Tour in Glendale, Arizona in March. Fans captured video of the Crazy, Stupid, Love actress rocking out and singing along to the Grammy winner's biggest hits like "You Belong With Me."

"The concert was incredible," Stone told Vanity Fair in June 2023. She admitted that Swift had "sorted [her] out" with tickets. "She's an amazing friend," she added.

Some fans speculate that Swift has drawn inspiration from Stone's previous relationships for her music. When Swift released Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) in July — a re-recording of her 2010 album — rumors swirled about whether one of the vault tracks, titled “When Emma Falls in Love,” was influenced by Stone’s real-life romance with ex Kieran Culkin. (The exes were linked in 2009, around the time Swift likely penned the track.)

Entertainment Tonight asked Stone if she was the subject of the song at Wednesday’s Poor Things premiere. She coyly replied, “You would have to ask her.” Swift's recent night out could be a chance to drop a clue about her next potential rerecording. Fans have been speculating that she plans to release "Reputation (Taylor’s Version)," a re-release of her 2017 sixth studio album, in the near future, especially after being named Time's 2023 Person of the Year.

During her interview for the POTY cover piece, which was released on Wednesday, Swift hinted at the inclusion of never-before-heard songs on Rep (TV), and described them as "fire." She referred to the record as a goth-punk expression of female rage in response to being gaslit by society, emphasizing that its themes are often underestimated. She noted that some people only see it as "sick snakes and strobe lights."
