Taylor Swift is known for bringing her celeb friends as +1s to Chiefs games, but no one could have expected Tom Cruise to show up in her suite during the first game of the season. The pair was seen having a lengthy conversation about…infrastructure (? the lip-readers<\/a> tried their best, but), and apparently people have questions. Like: how do these two even know each other, and what\u2014if anything\u2014are they cooking up for fans?<\/p>\n

A source tells the Daily Mail<\/a> that Tom and Taylor became friends after he went to the Eras Tour in London: \u201cSince then, they\u2019ve got close. They hang out together when they\u2019re in the same city. On the surface they seem like they\u2019re worlds apart, but they\u2019re really not. They have so much in common and they both get what they each have to deal with in life. Taylor learns so much from talking to him, and Tom loves seeing everything she does and appreciates her artistry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tom has since formed a close friendship with Travis Kelce, who \u201cis also a huge fan of Tom\u2019s action movies. Tom\u2019s a big football fan. That\u2019s really what brought Tom into Taylor\u2019s world. He knew Travis, but it was kind of from afar. They\u2019ve now become good buddies.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for any incoming collabs, a source says that Tom \u201cmay\u201d give Travis \u201ca role in Days of Thunder 2, which would be a great fit,\u201d and could\u2014potentially\/grain of salt\u2014lead to an original Taylor song.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir conversations were pretty innocent, but it\u2019s almost impossible for business not to come up,\u201d the source said. \u201cIt wouldn\u2019t be surprising if their friendship eventually became a business collaboration, with her potentially recording a song for Days Of Thunder, which was brought up in the box on Monday night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Tom\u2019s gearing up for his film Digger, while Tay had an original song in Toy Story. Per the source, \u201cThey might both find themselves nominated for an Oscar early next year, so don\u2019t be surprised when this friendship turns into something awesome professionally for them both.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taylor Swift is known for bringing her celeb friends as +1s to Chiefs games, but no one could…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":603393,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,225243,2115,297312,2117,156,207184,2462,111,139,69,166271,297311,251090,147908],"class_list":["post-603392","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-collection-taylor-swift","tag-content-type-news","tag-contentid-1577b74f-8be8-4329-82b1-4763d1df2710","tag-displaytype-standard-article","tag-entertainment","tag-issyndicated-false","tag-locale-us","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-read_time-2","tag-shorttitle-what-are-tom-cruise-and-taylor-swift-cooking-up","tag-sponsored-false","tag-subsection-celebs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603392","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=603392"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603392\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/603393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=603392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=603392"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=603392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
