Zoë Kravitz Gushes About Her Pal Taylor Swift; Blink Twice Director Marvels At Singer’s Ability To Turn ‘Into A Normal Person’

Zoë Kravitz doesn’t have enough words of praise for her best friend Taylor Swift. The two have been friends for quite some years and have always supported each other’s professional endeavors.

They also know each other’s personality quite well. So if Kravitz says that Swift is a down-to-earth person, it’s most probably true. Also, over the years, multiple more instances have backed up The Batman actress’ words quite well. 

On August 22, 2024, during an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Zoë Kravitz gushed about Taylor Swift’s ability to not bring drama into her personal life. In short, T-Swift is a chill woman.

Kravitz talked about her friend being “scary talented at everything she does so it’s not surprising that she’s so good.” Then she went on to explain what was weird to her about Swift- that the singer was chill and cool even after performing at big venues. 

The 35-year-old actress said, “What is weirder to me is that after she performs for however many thousands of people that are… she just comes over after and we drink some wine and eat a burger and hang out. You would just never know that she just performed at Wembley.”

Zoë Kravitz and her fiancé Channing Tatum have attended the popstar’s Wembley performance. On August 19, 2024, Tatum posted a sweet clip where both can be seen having a great time at her concert.

The Deadpool and Wolverine star even captioned the post with, “Date night with TSwift. The love is real and Taylor is an absolute force!”

During the interview with Jimmy Fallon, The High Fidelity actress couldn’t stop praising her megastar friend. She emphasized that Taylor never brings her attitude or work home. The actress said, “There are a lot of famous people who don’t let you forget that they’re famous. They bring Wembley home with them… She really just turns into a normal person.”

Thankfully, this love doesn’t go just one way. The Shake It Off hitmaker also supported her friend and promoted her new film Blink Twice!

Taylor Swift recently took to her Instagram Stories and urged people to watch Kravitz’s directorial debut. The Love Story singer wrote, “This film is incredible. Thrilling, twisted, wickedly funny, and visually stunning.” She also added that Kravitz had “conceptualized” the film apart from directing and co-writing it. 

The singer stated that she was “blown away by what she’s (Kravitz) accomplished here” and couldn’t wait for everyone else to watch it. Also, this isn’t the first time they publicly had each other’s backs. 

In 2022, Zoë Kravitz revealed that the duo had spent time together in London during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. The two also attended Margaret Qualley and Jack Antonoff’s wedding in August 2023. 

Additionally, in 2022, Taylor Swift publicly praised Kravitz’s acting in the movie The Batman, which was released the same year. Guess, they really are besties! Blink Twice is in theaters now.

Exploring the Latest Viral Demure Trend Online; Here’s What It Means

A new fad is currently sweeping a high-energy storm across the internet, all centered around the word “demure.” This all began with the posting of one TikTok video from Jools Lebron on August 2, 2024. It has since spiraled into the arena of viral sensations, attracting millions of views and, accordingly, sparking various discussions.

In just 38 seconds, Lebron breathed life into the forgotten adjective. Her video, featuring a strikingly modest makeup look accompanied by the phrase “very demure, very mindful,” has turned into an ocean of comment threads and reimaginings all over the platform.

The sudden promotion of “demure” is more than just a trend; it makes space for a deeper conversation about how we present ourselves, and how we move through the world. 

According to CBS Mornings, Jools Lebron made her TikTok account to connect with a community that understood what it meant to be plus-size and transgender, with all the special issues associated with those labels. While she has been creating content on subjects that seem to be limitless, ranging from makeup tutorials to videos featuring Bratz dolls, her engagement strategy didn’t blow until her most recent posts centered around being “demure.”

In her viral video, Lebron uses “demure” to describe her makeup routine for work, saying, “Very demure, very mindful. I don’t do too much. I’m very mindful while I’m at work. See how I look? Very presentable.”

The term, which traditionally signifies modesty, reserve, or seriousness, has found a new interpretation on TikTok. Lebron’s videos rapidly captured attention as she skillfully applied the word to a range of situations, from ordering food to selecting outfits.

The trend didn’t stop with Lebron. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Hayley Kalil joined the conversation, further boosting the hashtag’s visibility. 

Lebron further elaborated on the meaning of “demure” in an interview on CBS Mornings on August 17, 2024. She explained that the term is subjective, saying, “Your demure is what it means to you. It’s being mindful and considerate of the people around you, but also of yourself and how you present to the world.” It’s likely that For Lebron, “demure” embodies a lifestyle choice, which involves embracing simplicity and subtleness without sacrificing self-expression.

As per CBS Mornings, Jools reflected on her earlier days, working as a cashier and filming videos from her car. At that time, she couldn’t have foreseen that her simple, unpretentious videos would resonate so profoundly with millions.

Reportedly, Her “demure” theme, which started from a natural makeup look for her first day at a new job after experimenting with a more dramatic style previously, has not only engaged viewers but also opened doors to new brand opportunities.

The trend, however, has not been free of controversy. Reportedly, a content creator on TikTok known as Selyna claimed she used the term “demure” in her videos back in 2021 just to stir debate about who started the trend. After all is said and done, and considering Selyna’s claims are yet to be verified, the debate has heightened interest in the term.

The hashtag has now reportedly been used in over 285,000 videos, making Lebron a notable figure in the TikTok community. Her approach has resonated with many, including individuals from the LGBTQ+ community who see the term as a way to express their own identities.
