Taylor Swift is currently in the news for her love life. The singer recently got papped cuddling and kissing the 1975 frontman Matty Healy after breaking up with Joe Alwyn two months ago. Taylor and Joe dated for six long years.
Circling back to Taylor Swift’s audition for Les Miserables, Taylor Swift during her appearance on The Graham Norton Show claimed, “Basically I was up for two roles…I had the look of Cosette and the range vocally of Éponine. “This isn’t an experience I’m going to get again in my life,” as reported by Looper. The singer continued, “When I got there they put me in full 19th Century street urchin costume and told me they were going to paint my teeth brown and I was like, ‘You are going to do that after I meet Eddie Redmayne right?’”.
Taylor further shared, “Surely, that’s not the best look when you’re about to meet one of your favourite actors. When I met Eddie I didn’t open my mouth to speak.”
Taylor Swift further was also accompanied by Eddie Redmayne on the show and recalling his experience, the actor stated, “My overwhelming memory of it is that I’d just been to Pizza Express beforehand and I’d had some garlic dough balls.”
The Theory Of Everything star added, “They had us on the floor, like singing sweet nothings into each other and all I knew is just had garlic breath.”
