Paul Feig never expected this from Taylor Swift
Paul Feig went into the final stages of his latest film fully prepared for disappointment, never expecting Taylor Swift to say yes to a song he believed was too perfect to be approved.
But to his surprise, the pop superstar not only watched the movie, she signed off on the track he had hoped for all along.
Speaking during the red carpet premiere of The Housemaid on Monday, the four-time Emmy nominee admitted he had little faith that Swift would clear the use of her 2017 Reputation track I Did Something Bad for the film’s shocking ending.
As Feig explained, securing a Taylor Swift song is never simple.
“Well, that’s the thing; you want to put a Taylor song in your movie, but she and her company have to approve it,” he said while discussing the editing process.
Even with that reality in mind, Feig and his team took a chance.
“So, we were tempting with it, and we were like, ‘It’s so perfect, but she’s never gonna clear this,’” he added.
The unexpected twist came after Swift and her team were shown the finished film.
“Then we showed she and her people the movie, and she approved it. So, I guess she likes it. Thank you Taylor!”
The approval turned a long-shot wish into a defining moment for The Housemaid, which is now playing in theaters.
The film’s soundtrack leans heavily into emotionally charged and recognisable music, blending Swift’s song with tracks like Lana Del Rey’s Cinnamon Girl, Renée Rapp’s Why Is She Still Here?, Kelly Clarkson’s Since U Been Gone, and Linda Ronstadt’s Tumbling Dice and Blue Bayou.
Based on Freida McFadden’s 2022 novel, the thriller stars Sydney Sweeney as Millie, a housekeeper who steps into what appears to be a flawless household run by the Winchesters, played by Amanda Seyfried and Brandon Sklenar.
As the story unfolds, dark secrets begin to surface.

How Khloé Kardashian, Lamar Odom marriage affected his ex Liza Morales
Liza Morales, Lamar Odom’s high school sweetheart, finally spoke out about the moment she found out that her ex got married to the reality star Khloé Kardashian.
“It was shocking. I couldn’t escape it,” Morales told PEOPLE.
She opened up just days before Netflix releases Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom, a documentary about the basketball star’s life, fame, struggles and relationships.
A big part of the film looks back on his early romance with Morales.
The couple met in high school and Odom proposed to her when they were just 20 and they delayed marriage but went on to have three children together.
But tragedy happened in 2006 when their six-month-old son Jayden died from sudden terrifying syndrome.
The loss, however, left a heavy effect on their relationship and slowly, they went their separate ways.
The fashion designer went on to add that she was blindsided when Odom’s relationship with Khloé Kardashian became public in 2009.
“It was a text message and then a phone call from Lamar, ‘By the way, I’m getting married,’” she recalled.
“Then it was everywhere. It wasn’t just that he got married—it was how it happened. It was rushed, and it hurt.”
Still, Morales shared that she and Odom have reached to a better place now. “It took years. I had to work on myself and heal.”

The funeral procession will depart on March 29 at 10:30 a.m., with burial to follow at the Pyeongtaek City Memorial Hall.
Who was Lee Sang-bo?
Born in 1981, the South Korean actor debuted in 2006 with KBS2’s Invisible Man Choi Jang-su and went on to appear in numerous dramas.
His career faced turbulence in 2022 when he was investigated for alleged drug use.
The case was later dismissed after forensic analysis confirmed he had been prescribed medication for depression.
Lee returned to acting with Graceful Empire in 2023, determined to rebuild his reputation.
In addition to acting, Lee recently opened a meat restaurant in Pyeongtaek, where he personally greeted and served customers.
Friends and patrons described him as warm and ‘friendly neighbour’.
Following his death, the restaurant has temporarily closed, with his cousin (co-manager of the restaurant) expressing grief over the loss, “My heart is heavy.”
