Sally Rooney is a celebrated Irish author, known for her best-selling novels “Normal People” and “Conversations with Friends”. Her work has been praised for its astute observations of modern relationships and its intimate portrayal of the inner lives of her characters. Following BBC 3’s television adaptations of Rooney’s novels, a celebrity culture has emerged around the stars of the adaptations. Whether it be a 6-year relationship, or a feature on a song, all of the main players in the lovingly- dubbed ‘sally rooney-verse’ are inextricably linked. This is Gen-Z’s answer to ‘six degrees from Kevin Bacon’ (look it up…).

Bridgers’ and Mescal’s first interaction on twitter in 2020 quickly turned into an engagement confirmed at the end of 2022. Amidst rumoursbreak-up over the past couple of months, both have remained silent.
The collaboration between Swift and Bridgers is a ‘[from the vault]’ track on Red (taylor’s version)- the second album Swift re-recorded in 2021 following disputes with her label about the rights to her music catalogue.
