Taylor Swift set to make surprising career change – and it’s bad news for her exes

Taylor Swift’s famous exes may want to hide as the singer is reportedly preparing to turn her break-up songs into a TV series.

Her turbulent love life has provided plenty of material for her hit records.
Now Taylor Swift’s famous exes, including musician John Mayer and actors Jake Gyllenhaal and Joe Alwyn, may want to take cover again, as the superstar is preparing to turn the heartbreak from her songs into a screenplay.

According to The Sun, Swift has had a meeting with Succession writer Alice Birch to discuss the possibility of a new “meta-feminist” TV series.

A source said: “Taylor is a multi-talented individual and while her love life has given her 10 number-one albums, it is also in the early stages of spawning a new TV show.

“She has been introduced to Alice and they have started discussing a possible new screenplay.

“Taylor is incredibly astute and getting her head into a project like this would be perfect for her.

“Alice is an ideal writing partner as she helped shape Succession – which streams locally on BINGE – character Shiv Roy.

Seeing how she moulded this character, who existed in a male-dominated environment, caught Taylor’s eye.

“They have just been throwing around ideas.

“Naturally, Taylor’s relationships have inspired some of her biggest songs, many of which have become empowerment anthems

“This translates easily on to the screen and there are so many threads they can take from it.

“It is really exciting and something Taylor is looking to branch out into.”

Swift last year revealed she was preparing to direct her first feature film after writing the script.

The project is being produced by Searchlight Pictures, the company which was behind major films including The Shape Of Water and Nomadland.

Swift said of the venture: “I’d like to keep taking baby steps and I’m at a place now where the next baby step is not a baby step.

“It would be committing to making a film and I would absolutely love for the right opportunity to arise, because I adore telling stories this way.”
