On a question asked during The Kissing Booth:
Joey: “I remember you asked me a question in the middle of filming — ‘Do you normally stay friends with people that you work with? Or do you get really close to them on set, and then you just don’t talk to them very much afterwards?’”

Joey: It was a sweet question because I felt like the subtext was like, ‘Are we going to be friends after this?’ And I told you, ‘It depends.’”

“It was hard doing Red, White & Royal Blue — and I’m going to start crying — knowing that she didn’t get to see it.

“A Family Affair,” the new, somewhat superficial Netflix rom-com from writer/director Richard LaGravenese (“The Last Five Years,” “Beautiful Creatures”), is by no means brilliant or full of depth. And yet, still, the trio of Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron, and Joey King create an interesting dynamic; the ultimately well-intentioned film has some interesting things to say about late-in-life love, the many facets of self-absorption, and the way we use the notion of protecting the ones we love under the guise of selfish self-interest.

Sabrina Carpenter has said that there is no tension between her and Taylor Swift, following her recent campaign with SKIMS.The speculation about the friendship between Carpenter and Swift came into question when the former partnered up with SKIMS – the clothing brand founded by Kim Kardashian – earlier this year.Previously, Carpenter had joined Swift as a support act for many of her huge ‘Eras’ tour dates, and openly shared her appreciation for the pop star on a number of occasions. However, some fans weren’t happy about the collaboration with Kardashian, given the reality star’s ongoing feud with the ‘Midnights’ singer.Swift and Kardashian’s relationship has been a topic of public scrutiny since 2016, when Kardashian defended her then-husband Kanye West’s mention of Swift in his track ‘Famous’, in which he claimed he “made that bitch famous”.She then insisted that Swift had given him permission to include her in the song and released footage of a phone call between Swift and West about the inclusion of similar lyrics to those that were released, which Swift has since said was recorded “illegally” and “edited”.Swift addressed the situation again in her December 2023 Time Person of the Year interview.
