The Laura Dern, Taylor Swift Connection, Explained

The feelings are mutual!

Taylor Swift certainly polishes up real nice!

A new trailer for “The Son” – the follow-up to Florian Zeller’s Oscar-winning drama “The Father” – has arrived, and by the looks of it, the new feature is poised to be just as devastating. From Falco Ink and Sony Pictures Classics, the prequel stars Hugh Jackman and Laura Dern as divorced parents to Nicholas (newcomer Zen McGrath).

Uncovering the clues! Taylor Swift is basking in the success of Midnights — but she might already be gearing up to drop her next rerecorded album.

There are films that are often talked about as “Oscar bait” because of their amazing casts, acclaimed directors, and heartfelt stories. But then you have something like “The Son,” which seems like it was tailor-made to be a sure-thing Oscar contender.

“It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me.”

As Hank Williams Jr. says at the top, “Are you ready for some Taylor Swift?”

Taylor Swift's co-writers have been revealed! The album's credits list includes quite a few familiar names and one highly recognizable pseudonym. In addition to Swift's frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff, who is credited on 11 of the LP's 13 tracks, Zoe Kravitz is also named as a co-writer on «Lavender Haze» and «Karma.» Swift's boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, is also listed under his familiar songwriting pen name, William Bowery, on the song «Sweet Nothing.» Alwyn previously contributed to Swift's 2020 albums and  on the tracks «Exile,» «Betty,» «Champagne Problems,» «Coney Island» and «Evermore.» Alwyn's secret alias was eventually confirmed by Swift herself in her Disney+ special,

Lenny Kravitz is listed as a co-writer on Swift’s “Midnights” song “Lavender Haze.”Swift, Jack Antonoff, Mark Anthony Spears, Jahaan Akil Sweet, and Sam Dew are also credited for the track.Some Twitter fan accounts claim that Kravitz also co-wrote “Karma,” but as of publication, she is not included in Apple Music’s list of songwriters for the tune. Swift co-wrote 11 of the album’s 13 songs with Antonoff.

While already known as a respected novelist, playwright, theatre director, and screenwriter, French renaissance man Florian Zeller really put himself on the map with his directorial debut, “The Father,” in 2020, winning Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Actors for Anthony Hopkins at the 93rd Academy Awards. Zeller follows that film up with “The Son,” which is actually not a sequel but stars Hugh Jackman, Laura Dern, Vanessa Kirby, Zen McGrath, Hugh Quarshie, and Anthony Hopkins once again.
