In a March 2022 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, “The Maze Runner” actpr revealed that the “I Bet You Think About Me” singer actually reached out to him for the role.

“No, I guess that was something that Taylor had specifically thought of me for. So she reached out to me and asked if I wanted to do it,” he said. “And I, of course, said yes. It was automatic.”

“Yeah, I woke up one day with a text from my manager saying, ‘Taylor Swift’s manager is asking if she can reach out to you about a project.’ And I was like, ‘Whoa,’” he explained. “And then I gave her my number, and not even an hour later, I got this iconic f---ing text from her that was so long and so funny and really, really thoughtful. And it was a full pitch of what she wanted to do. It was awesome.”
