Sophie Turner, the acclaimed “Game of Thrones” actress, has publicly expressed her deep gratitude to pop star Taylor Swift for offering unwavering support during a difficult period.
Following her separation from Joe Jonas, Turner revealed that Swift provided her and her children with a home in New York City.
Friendship at the Right Time
Turner’s friendship with Taylor Swift couldn’t have blossomed at a better time. In September, when Joe Jonas filed for divorce after four years of marriage, Turner found herself in New York with her daughters, Willa and Delphine, but without a place to stay.
Desperately in need of help, Turner reached out to Swift to see if she knew of any rental properties. To Turner’s surprise, Swift immediately offered her apartment free of charge.
“Taylor was an absolute hero to me this year,” Turner shared in her June 2024 British Vogue cover story. “I’ve never been more grateful to anyone than I am to her because she took my children and me and provided us with a home and a safe space.” Turner added, “She really has a heart of gold.”
History of Their Friendship
Many are aware that Swift briefly dated Turner’s husband, Joe Jonas, back in 2008. Their short-lived romance inspired Swift’s song “Forever & Always” on her Fearless album. Despite this history, Turner and Swift have maintained a friendly relationship. They first met around a decade ago but didn’t become close friends until Turner’s recent split from Jonas.
Over the years, the two women have shown support for each other on social media and at various events. They even appeared together on “The Graham Norton Show” in May 2019, sporting matching hairstyles and smiles, demonstrating there was no “Bad Blood” between them despite Turner’s recent marriage to Jonas.
Public Support and New Beginnings
On September 19, 2023, Swift and Turner made headlines when they were seen enjoying a girls’ night out in New York City, just weeks after news of Turner’s divorce broke. Shortly after, PEOPLE confirmed that Turner and her daughters were staying at Swift’s apartment. An insider close to Turner shared, “Sophie is doing OK. She is happy to be back with her girls. Working in Europe was very hard for her. She missed her girls.” The source added, “Taylor has opened her home to Sophie. Sophie is welcome there any time. Taylor continues to be a great friend.”
Turner and Swift were spotted again in New York City a few days later, this time with a group of Swift’s celebrity friends, including Blake Lively and Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes is also teammates with Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
Supporting Each Other’s Careers
Turner has shown her support for Swift’s latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” by sharing the track “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” on her Instagram Story on its release day, April 19, per Entertainment Tonight.
Taylor Swift’s Busy Schedule
Swift is currently performing on the European leg of her Eras Tour, which began earlier this month with four shows in Paris. She surprised fans with an updated setlist that includes songs from her latest album. Among the attendees at her recent shows were her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and friends Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid. Swift’s next tour stops are scheduled for May 17, 18, and 19 in Solna, Sweden.
The bond between Sophie Turner and Taylor Swift exemplifies the strength and importance of friendship during challenging times. Turner’s heartfelt acknowledgment of Swift’s generosity and support highlights how critical a strong support system can be. As Turner navigates her new reality post-divorce, she remains deeply grateful for the kindness and stability Swift provided, proving that true friends are there through thick and thin.
