“She Could Be a Director” - Tom Cruise Teases Taylor Swift’s Next Possible Hollywood Move
Tom Cruise thinks Taylor Swift could become a feature film director. The remark came while the actor, 64, was promoting Digger, his new film arriving on October second. Swift, 36, is the voice behind "Life of a Showgirl" and a growing pile of music videos. Apparently, that résumé may soon need space for a clapperboard, a megaphone, and a very well-organized call sheet, courtesy of one seriously famous admirer.
While most stars answer music video questions with a polite smile, Cruise chose generous praise, and London heard every word.

Tom Cruise would happily work with Taylor Swift and thinks she could direct feature films. BuzzFeed UK asked him at the Digger premiere whether he would star in a Swift music video.
"It would be amazing to work with her on anything," Cruise said.
He then added, "If she ever decided to direct, she could be a director of feature films. I know she does her videos, and she does a beautiful job."
The BuzzFeed UK interview happened Tuesday, September 22, at the Leicester Square premiere, attended by Prince William and Kate Middleton. Cruise also called Swift a brilliant writer and said her family and husband, Travis Kelce, are very magical. Their friendship was on display at Arrowhead Stadium, where Cruise watched the Chiefs opener against the Denver Broncos from her private suite on September 14. He later told Jimmy Fallon she taught him football.
While Taylor Swift may one day yell action on a film set, her husband Travis Kelce already got Tom Cruise to confess his strangest script secret on New Heights.
Tom Cruise explains his unusual way of choosing films
Tom Cruise revealed on the New Heights podcast that he never reads a script himself. Directors and writers perform the material aloud for him, so he can meet the story as a viewer would. His reasoning is simple, because he does not want his own ideas invading the work before he understands what its creators are trying to communicate. The habit turns every script reading into a private screening, popcorn optional.

The rule extends beyond scripts, since Cruise listens to wardrobe choices, lighting decisions, and camera angles before offering any opinion. He compares the process to playing jazz, where each musician adds a rhythm before the full sound arrives. His own ideas rarely get announced in advance, because he prefers to demonstrate them once the creative direction is clear. Should Taylor Swift ever direct, Cruise is already prepared to sit and listen.
