Anything can happen at a Paul McCartney house party, even a DJ set from Taylor Swift. In an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Monday night (June 17), the late-night host and Austin Butler raved about a recent gathering at the Beatles’ abode that featured a star-studded guest list as well as tunes approved by the “Anti-Hero” singer.
“Last time I saw you was at maybe the craziest party I’ve ever been to in my whole life,” Kimmel began, with Butler adding, “That was insane.”
“Taylor Swift showed up,” the comedian continued.
Trending on Billboard
“Yeah, she was DJing at one point,” added the Bikeriders star. “She’s [working] at parties now.”
The interview comes just a few days after Butler revealed in a BBC Radio 1 interview that his favorite of Swift’s eras is Reputation — or, as he put it, “the one with the snakes.” The actor and his girlfriend, model Kaia Gerber, attended the Eras Tour in Los Angeles in August.
Though he didn’t disclose which songs Swift picked out for the party, Butler did reveal some of the other big names in attendance at McCartney’s party: Ringo Starr, Mick Jagger, Bruce Springsteen and Meryl Streep. Feeling too starstruck to introduce himself to the Devil Wears Prada actress, the Dune cast member hid out in the kitchen and ate pizza — that is, until someone pulled him away to introduce him to Streep.
“I couldn’t believe I was meeting Meryl Streep with Paul McCartney’s vegan pizza in my mouth,” Butler gushed.
He also recalled Springsteen telling him a story about writing a song for Elvis Presley — who Butler famously played in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis — and sneaking onto the King’s property to try and convince him to record it. “I had heard this sort of mythical story, and then to hear it from him, of him being a huge Elvis fan and then hopping the gates at Graceland,” Butler told Kimmel. “He wanted to give Elvis a song. He somehow evaded the dogs — he’s a fast runner. I’m so bummed I didn’t get to hear that song.”
