Zoë Kravitz is crediting Taylor Swift for helping her get through the COVID pandemic.
The Kimi actress, 33, said in an interview with GQ that she spent some time with the "Anti-Hero" singer, 32, in London during the pandemic lockdown. Kravitz had been there filming The Batman movie while Swift was also spending lockdown with her boyfriend Joe Alwyn.
"She was my pod," Kravitz told GQ. "She was a very important part of being in London, just having a friend that I could see and that would make me home-cooked meals and dinner on my birthday."
The feeling is mutual. Swift praised Kravitz for her personality and work in an email to GQ.
"Zoë's sense of self is what makes her such an exciting artist, and such an incredible friend," Swift said. "She has this very honest inner compass, and the result is art and life without compromising who she is."
Throughout the years, the Grammy winner has been vocal about supporting her friend.
Swift raved about Kravitz's performance in The Batman when it came out, writing on her Instagram story, "@zoeisabellakravitz is the Catwoman of my dreams. The Batman was phenomenal!!!"
Swift reportedly also helped Kravitz during a photo shoot for the New York Times Magazine's "Great Performers" issue in 2020.
New York Times Magazine editor-in-chief Jake Silverstein told WWD that Swift stepped in to help with the photo shoot and he directed her during the photoshoot.
"Zoe was being very strict about [social distancing guidelines] anyway because she's shooting [The Batman], and Taylor Swift was in her pod and willing to assist," Silverstein said.
The duo's friendship has been on display more recently in Taylor Swift's latest studio album Midnights. Kravitz co-wrote the song "Lavender Haze" and provided backup vocals for that song and "Glitch" from the extended edition of the album, per Billboard.
