Zoey Deutch revealed she would completely lose her mind if Taylor Swift ever watched Voicemails for Isabelle. The new Netflix rom-com follows Jill, a grieving pastry chef whose voicemails to her late sister accidentally reach a stranger who falls for her. Music plays an unusually large role in the story, with several recognizable names woven into its soundtrack. Deutch opened up about that connection during a recent conversation tied to the film's upcoming release.

While the film's soundtrack already hints at Hollywood's biggest pop star, Deutch's reaction reveals exactly how much that connection means to her.

Zoey Deutch admitted that hearing Taylor Swift might be a fan of Voicemails for Isabelle left her stunned. The actor noted that the film features few of Swift's songs, a detail she called deeply meaningful since the singer rarely licenses her music for movies. Deutch wondered whether Swift had actually watched the film before signing off on the tracks.

"Like, I would lose my mind, I would lose my mind. I love Taylor Swift so much, like the rest of the world, but I just think she's the greatest," Deutch said to Entertainment Weekly.

Deutch then added, "I was thinking about that because I feel like she doesn't put her songs in every movie, so maybe she has seen the movie."

Voicemails for Isabelle weaves in three Taylor Swift tracks across its runtime, each chosen for a distinct emotional beat. 'Marjorie' plays during one of Jill's most devastating voicemail scenes, while 'New Year's Day' underscores a quieter moment of renewal for Wes. 'Look What You Made Me Do' arrives later, adding a sharper, more confident tone to a pivotal confrontation. The question of whether Swift has actually seen the film stayed unresolved even as Deutch discussed it with Entertainment Weekly, though Leah McKendrick's personal push for the rights suggests the singer's approval mattered deeply.
