Many fans have noted the physical similarities between the actress and the famous singer’s publicist.

In response to the idea, the Enchanted actress said the casting idea sounded “so fun.”
Amy spoke about the idea during an appearance on The Tonight Show Staring Jimmy Fallon and said: “That would be amazing.”
“It would be so fun. I mean…if it got me closer to Taylor, then that would be fun.”
Amy went on to explain how she had recently become a Swiftie, saying she had always “liked her and appreciated her,” but her concert fully converted her.
“I’ve always liked her music and appreciated her, and then I went to the Eras Tour – a friend of mine had a ticket – and then I became a Swiftie at 50,” she said.
“I’m a Swiftie at 50, so I’m like a shifty 50 Swiftie… And I’m like ‘Isn’t that nifty?’ And now my daughter’s going, ‘Ooh, I hate this for you.’”
“I suddenly went from normal to ‘I’ll take all the friendship bracelets!'” she joked.
The actress also confessed she had once ended up at an after-party, where she sang “What’s Going On?” with Taylor Swift.
“I may have sang it a little loud,” Amy said.
“And I’m sure everybody was like, ‘Amy, shut up. We want to hear Taylor sing’ … So I should have sat down and just let Taylor sing.”
The actress’s upcoming film is Nightbitch, which is based on the well-known book by Rachel Yoder.
The film was directed by Marielle Heller, whose previous works include A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood, Can You Ever Forgive Me?, and The Diary of a Teenage Girl.
