The Twilight Saga: The New Moon director Chris Weitz just revealed that Taylor Swift was almost part of the Dusk franchise.
Swift is known for many things, including her classic red lipstick, her iconic love ballads that sometimes even exceed the ten-minute mark, and her work as a director on music videos. However, she could also have been famous for being part of the highly successful Dusk The franchise had events that played out differently, and its fame was not an issue.
During an interview on The twilight effect with Ashley Greene and Melanie Howe, Weitz revealed that Swift wanted to make an appearance in the iconic Dusk film. “Craziest of all was hearing that Taylor Swift was a huge Twi-hard, and in fact Taylor Swift and I had the same agent at the time,” Weitz said. “Taylor would like to be in this movie – not because of you, but she’s a Twi-hard. She’d be somebody in the cafeteria or the restaurant or whatever, but she just wants to be in this movie.
Weitz then shared that he chose not to cast Swift in the film because he felt it would be too distracting for the film’s audience. “By the time Taylor Swift enters the screen, for about five minutes, nobody will be able to process anything,” he said. However, Weitz made it clear that looking back on that decision thirteen years later, he regrets not allowing the cameo, joking that he and Swift could have become friends had she been in the band.

Although the “All Too Well” singer hasn’t been on screen for Twilight: New Moonshe just made an appearance in a trailer for an upcoming comedy thriller titled amsterdam. In her brief appearance, Swift is seen crying with lipstick on, wearing a hat and a 1930s-style dress. However, no concrete details about the role have yet been made public, put other than Swift playing a grieving girl.
So, although Swift couldn’t play a vampire or a werewolf in Twilight: New Moonshe will have her chance to appear on the big screen very soon in amsterdam. However, as the Dusk fan hysteria is still alive and well, and there’s another Dusk novel that has yet to be made into a movie, maybe Swift still has a chance to appear in a Dusk movie after all.
The Dusk movies are available on Amazom Prime Video.
