Ethan Hawke Lauds Taylor Swift

In a recent conversation with Variety, Hawke thanked his daughter, Maya Hawke, for connecting him with Taylor Swift for his cameo in Fortnite. He said, "My daughter is creating opportunities in my life. I got a text from my daughter saying ‘Hey dad, Taylor Swift wants your number.’ So I guess they met. And anyway, Taylor Swift is a ‘Dead Poets Society’ fan, and so, hell, I’ll take what I can get." Further, she added, "That woman is incredible. To watch her empower herself to direct these videos and take it all on the chin and be willing to stand out front, it is not easy.” The actor was also compelled to see Swift on the Eras tour, which he compared to going to see the Beatles at their cultural height. “Not only is she changing the economy of the world, she has people coming together in a room."

"Here we are tonight, getting out of our houses, being together, dancing, caring about poetry, caring about ideas, caring about expression. And there’s thousands of thousands of people there rocking out. And I was like, ‘Oh, someday people are going to write books about this moment'," the actor concluded. Taylor's new album, The Life of a Showgirl was released Oct. 3. In its first week, pure album sales totaled 3,479,500 copies.
