Why Taylor Swift didn’t get a role in The Twilight Saga

Actors and fans aren’t the only ones dreaming of becoming part of a very famous franchise. Singers sometimes also cherish this ambition.

Taylor Swift, for example, would have damned herself to get a small cameo in a saga that could have propelled her career on the big screen. A dream unfortunately shattered more than ten years ago. On the podcast mic The Twilight Effect Chris Weitz, director of the chapter 2 : Temptation (2009), revealed that he had the same agent as the singer at the time he was entrusted with the adaptation of Stephenie Meier’s novel. ” Taylor would like to be in this movie – not because of you, but she’s a Twi-hard “, explains his manager.

Swift is not asking for a big role in the saga. A simple small appearance would satisfy his heart of hardcore fan of the franchise. Weitz will not accede to his request. Here’s why: “The hardest thing for me was being told that as soon as Taylor Swift appeared on screen, for about five minutes, no one would be able to understand anything. I blame myself for that too, because I could have hung out with Taylor Swift. She must have said to herself: “Who is this jerk? “. But sometimes we make decisions knowing that it’s for the good of the film. The absence of Taylor Swift did not prevent Twilight 2 to be a huge success at the box office.
