LOS ANGELES – Emma Stone showcased her trademark dry wit backstage at the 2024 Golden Globes. The actress, who won Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for her role in “Poor Things,” took a playful jab at her longtime friend Taylor Swift after accepting the award.
When a reporter asked Stone about Swift’s enthusiastic cheering after her win, Stone dryly commented, “What an a–hole, am I right?” In a more serious tone, Stone went on to express her happiness that Swift was there, noting their almost 20-year friendship.
Stone’s big night included multiple nominations, including Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Drama for “The Curse.” Additionally, her film “Poor Things” received the top honor of Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy.
The question about Swift isn’t the first Stone has faced while promoting the film. Swift released her re-recorded album, “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version),” last summer, which contains a track titled “When Emma Falls in Love” that many speculate is about Stone. However, Stone has played coy when asked about it, stating that only Swift can confirm the inspiration behind the song.
Aside from cheering on her friends at the Golden Globes, Swift was also a nominee in the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category for her concert film “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.” However, she lost out to the box office hit “Barbie.”
In conclusion, Emma Stone’s dry wit was on full display at the 2024 Golden Globes as she jokingly responded to a question about Taylor Swift’s support. Stone’s successful night included winning an award for her role in “Poor Things” and being nominated for her television series “The Curse.” While speculation surrounds Swift’s song about Stone, the actress remains elusive about the details.
