While she is busy breaking records with her latest tour and the concert film Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, Taylor Swift is also about to make her feature directorial debut, and the pop star has the perfect song to provide inspiration for the movie. Although the details of the project are a secret, it’s going to be based on an original script, and fans are speculating about what the movie could be about. Although Swift could create an original story, she actually has the perfect opportunity to do a biopic based on one of her songs, and she has a close friend who is the perfect actress for the lead role.
Swift’s main career involves singing and songwriting, but she has explored other sides of the entertainment world before. She has starred in several movies as an actress, the latest being David O. Russell’s Amsterdam. Starting her Lover era, she also became involved in the creative process and started directing her own music videos. It all peaked with her Red (Taylor’s Version) re-release when she directed a short film for “All Too Well (10 Minute Version),” which earned her a number of awards. Taylor Swift has many songs that could prove to be the perfect inspiration, but one of them would stand out.
Taylor Swift Should Direct A “Last Great American Dynasty” Movie
The song is about socialite Rebekah Harkness
There are no details known about her feature directorial project yet, but Taylor Swift has the perfect song for her feature directorial debut: “The Last Great American Dynasty.” Swift wrote the Folklore album song based on the history of the mansion she purchased in Rhode Island, which was previously owned by an American socialite. Rebekah Harkness was married to William Lamon Harkness, the heir of Standard Oil, and the two bought a home in Rhode Island which they named “Holiday House.” The socialite was unpopular with her neighbors because she threw loud parties and did unusual things, including cleaning her pool with champagne and gambling with her high-profile guests.
There are many songs Taylor Swift could adapt into movies, including a high school love triangle rom-com with “Betty,” “Cardigan,” and “August,” but “The Last Great American Dynasty” would be the best option. Swift herself has been at the center of attention in Rhode Island since purchasing the mansion in 2013, and since there is an interest in biopics at the moment, adapting her Folklore song into a movie would showcase both her qualities as a singer-songwriter and her storytelling abilities, complete with the help of the Great Gatsby vibe the song has.
Blake Lively Would Be Perfect For The Role Of Harkness
Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, could also be in the movie
If Taylor Swift decided to turn “The Last Great American Dynasty” into a movie, she wouldn’t need to search very far for the perfect lead actress. Her own close friend, Blake Lively, would make the perfect Rebekah Harkness, and she proved that with many of her roles, including The Age of Adaline. Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, could also be in the movie as Rebekah’s husband, Bill.
Both Lively and Reynolds jokingly expressed an interest in making a “Last Great American Dynasty” movie along with Jesse Tyler Ferguson as the neighbor after X user TSlifestyle13 suggested the idea. Swift also joined in the conversation and admitted she loved the idea of the cast, writing, “Not trying to be The Loudest Woman This Town Has Ever Seen but… I LOVE THIS.” Although it is less likely this whole package will happen, the song would still be the perfect inspiration for Taylor Swift‘s feature film directorial debut.
