Emily Blunt Reveals How Taylor Swift Boosted Her Daughter's Confidence: 'Best Thing Anyone's Done'

Emily Blunt is revealing how Taylor Swift helped build her older daughter's confidence.

The actress, 41, joined SiriusXM's The Howard Stern Show earlier this week where she spoke about recently meeting the "Fortnight" singer, 34, with her two daughters. Blunt is mom to daughters Hazel, 9, and Violet, 7, whom she shares with her actor husband John Krasinski.

Speaking of meeting Swift, Blunt said, “Yeah, she’s the nicest…She was so nice to my kids! My oldest kid had just cut all of her hair off, this very short haircut that she was very self-conscious about."

"And Taylor Swift goes, ‘God, look at you. Just like this 60s Beatnik cool kid. I just, I love your style.’ And I thought my child was going to faint. It was the best thing anyone’s done for my child.”

Blunt, who currently stars in The Fall Guy with Ryan Gosling, recently shared that her kids were "so happy" she was working with Gosling, whom they associate with his role in the 2023 film Barbie.

"They're so happy. They have never had any interest in anyone I've worked with ever," Blunt said while appearing on an episode of Sunday Sitdown with Willie Geist. "They know a lot of people I've worked with. But Ryan is — Ryan's it for them."

Blunt added that her daughters loved the movie so much that they peppered their mom with questions about what Gosling, 43, was like in person.

"They were like, 'What does he look like when he has normal hair?' " she recalled, laughing. "And so I had to be like, 'This is what he normally looks like.' It's so funny."

This past summer, the Devil Wears Prada star revealed she was taking a year off of acting to focus on her most important role: mom.

“It’s one of those things when people are like, ‘How do you balance it?’ I never feel like I’m doing it right, you know,' ” Blunt said on the Table For Two podcast about juggling her career with raising young children.

“But this year I’m not working. I worked quite a bit last year and my oldest baby is 9, so we’re in the last year of single digits. And I just feel there are cornerstones to their day that are so important when they’re little."
