Taylor Swift got a positive shout-out at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards!

During his speech, Ebon said, “I’ve gotta thank my two special scene partners this year, Olivia Colman and Taylor Swift,” before thanking his wife Yelena and their two daughters.

“This is such a privilege to play this part,” he added. “Really beautiful experience to take this man kind of from a tough place into the light. It’s not often you get to do that — to play joy. And it’s been a really wonderful, special, special experience for me.”

For those that may not watch the show, or haven’t seen season two yet, Ebon‘s Taylor Swift mention is not just out of the blue, as he had a little storyline involving Taylor.

In season two, his character Richie was trying to score tickets to her concert for his daughter and ex-wife, and he did get the tickets!

Then, he had a scene where he belted out “Love Story” on his drive home.
