“I just went through a break-up and I was talking to her about that, and we went and danced together — it was such a fun night,” she said.
“And then the next day, I had an email from iTunes that said, like, ‘Taylor Swift’ or whatever, and I just thought that it was a Taylor Swift album,” said Chastain, adding that she discovered Swift, “had made me a break-up playlist that she sent me! Isn’t that the sweetest thing?”
“What are you kidding me? That’s unbelievable.”
“I know! And here I thought it was like a Taylor Swift advertisement,” added Chastian. “And she had, like, curated all these break-up songs to send me to help me get through my break-up.”
Although Chastain did not detail who the 2011 break-up was with, she went on to meet her future husband Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo a year later 2012.
As per ‘People’, the pair have been married since 2017. Chastain has continued to support Swift in return over the years, as Fallon shared on the show a photo of her visiting the singer backstage with friends at her Eras tour earlier this year.

And I met Taylor, she’s actually really sweet,” she added.
