Joseph Gordon-Levitt feels an even deeper admiration for Taylor Swift after performing her song "Lover" on The Tonight Show.
The 43-year-old actor felt bad about having to travel to New York for his appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s talk show last month, especially since it coincided with his wife Tasha McCauley’s birthday. To make it special, he decided to surprise her with a performance of her favorite song. Tasha had stayed in Los Angeles with their two children while he was away.
In an interview with People magazine, he shared his feelings: “I felt terrible and knew I had to do something. The night I went to do Jimmy’s show was her birthday… We weren’t sure if we’d get the rights to perform the song because it’s quite difficult, and finding an accompanist added complexity to the situation. Honestly, I admire Mrs. Swift even more as a songwriter. I’m trying to find something that is meaningful for my wife and resonates with the rest of the world. That’s a tough balance to strike. She’s a master; it’s truly impressive.”
Tasha was both surprised and delighted by the musical gesture. "She was indeed shocked, in the best way possible," Joseph said. "She sank into the couch crying. I think she would be embarrassed if I told everyone how big of a fan she is of Taylor. We went to the ‘Eras Tour’ together. She’s been a fan long before it was cool to like Taylor Swift.”
However, Joseph acknowledges that this birthday surprise has set a high bar for future celebrations. He laughed, remarking, "But here’s the thing. Next year, I won’t have to do it from New York. I can perform privately, which is much easier."
The heartfelt tribute not only showcased his love for his wife but also his respect for Taylor Swift’s craftsmanship, making for a memorable birthday celebration.
