Where there is a love story, you can bet Taylor Swift is lurking nearby, and any chat about Cupid is practically a shout-out to her. While her Eras Tour has become the ultimate romantic hotspot for fans crafting their fairy tales, Swift’s music alone has sparked countless love stories. Whether it is reel-life drama or real-life butterflies, any love story gets a dose of magic when Swift swoops in. Recently, Jacob Elordi dropped Swift’s name while raving about his on-screen chemistry with Daisy Edgar-Jones in On Swift Horses.

While many artists drop Swift references to spill their real-life beans, Elordi’s nod was like Ryan Gosling’s, with Swift’s Midas touch making a touchdown from the real world right into reel life.

Jacob Elordi recently chatted with Vanity Fair about his new film On Swift Horses, where he stars alongside Daisy Edgar-Jones. Edgar-Jones, who plays the queer outsider Muriel, reminisced about their early scenes together, noting how their characters seemed irresistibly drawn to each other, setting up a dramatic climax. Meanwhile, the Swiftie in Elordi could not resist casually adding, “I think Taylor Swift calls it an invisible string.”

Taylor Swift is often the secret weapon for anyone overflowing with love and short on words. Her songwriting is like a love potion for fans everywhere, and even Hollywood glitterati cannot escape her charm when they hit up her Eras Tour. While it is not new for the pop star to inspire the silver screen, seeing her influence sneak into a movie with no direct Swift connection is a groundbreaking testament to the Taylor Swift effect that Travis Kelce cannot stop raving about!

Even if this kind of love is not everyone’s cup of tea, Swift’s touch in the mix only adds to her flair for embracing the unconventional, even as a global superstar. For those not up to speed on the buzz, here is the lowdown on On Swift Horses. 

On Swift Horses is an American drama directed by Daniel Minahan, with Bryce Kass adapting the script from Shannon Pufahl’s novel of the same name. The film stars Jacob Elordi and Daisy Edgar-Jones, with a stellar lineup including Will Poulter, Diego Calva, and Sasha Calle. Set to make its world premiere today at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, the story kicks off with Muriel and her husband Lee starting fresh after his return from the Korean War. 

Their new beginning, however, takes a wild turn with the arrival of Lee’s charming younger brother, Julius. While Lee dreams of a new life in California, Julius vanishes to Las Vegas to work in a casino and starts a secret romance with a male coworker. Meanwhile, Muriel dives into her own secret adventure in San Diego, betting on racehorses and finding a love she never thought possible. However, to get in on the taste of the Taylor Swift magic, fans will need to hit the theaters, where the real story unfolds.
