‘Stranger Things’ actor Joe Keery found himself in the middle of a wishful rumor recently, suggesting his collaboration with megastar Taylor Swift for a music project. The speculation gained traction after both stars were spotted at a recording studio in New York City at the same time.
Joe Keery, who is also a musician as much as he is an actor, was part of a psych-rock band called ‘Post Animal’ before he entered the acting arena. So when the rumors flew about his collaboration with Swift, fans couldn’t keep calm. The actor has now opened up about the possibility.
Joe Keery Recalls The Day He And Taylor Swift Were At The Same Studio
Joe Keery initially produced music under the name Cool Cool Cool, before he joined the band called ‘Post Animal‘. As his acting career picked up, he parted ways with music. But after he was spotted at the music studio at the same time as Taylor Swift, his fans all reason to get high hopes.
Speaking at ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon‘, Keery recalled the day when he and Taylor Swift were at the Electric Lady Studios. “Well, that was a very confusing day because I was just in there minding my own business — not doing anything. Then I walked out the door and it was like 1,000 people were standing out there,” he said.
“People looked at me expecting Taylor and were like, ‘Who’s this guy?’ And then I walked down the block, and someone’s like, ‘Oh, that’s that guy!’” Keery said, recalling fan reactions. With that, he clarified that it was a mere accident that Taylor and he were at the same place at the same time.
Though he denied anything brewing as the rumors suggested, he did not entirely rule out a future possibility of the same. “Maybe that would generate something. Maybe that experience generated something in the universe, but I don’t know,” he said, indicating that he would be up to working with the megastar.
