Law & Order: Special Victims Unitstar Mariska Hargitay has reflected warmly on her experiences working with Taylor Swift. Hargitay, who has played Olivia Benson on NBC’s hit crime procedural since 1999, worked with Swift when she starred in the music video for her 2015 single “Bad Blood.”
While the project is a big departure from working intensely every week onLaw & Order: SVU’s multi-episode seasons, it provided Hargitay with the opportunity to do something different. And it seems like the actress had a great time playing a role that was different to Olivia for a short time.
PerPeople, Hargitay talked about working with Swift when she starred alongside her (and an ensemble of stars) in the singer’s “Bad Blood” video. She mentioned how it was a pleasure to work with the singer-songwriter, and that she learned so much from her, and she had the best time working on the video.
She went on to praise Swift as “fearless, and a boss lady,” and talked about how warm and friendly she was to work with. In the same interview, she confirmed she would be happy to appear in another Swift music video again in the future. Check out Hargitay’s comments below:
“That was the most fun, being in the squad with all the cool girls and supermodels. It was the most fun ever. She was just warm and smart and kind and such a boss lady.
I learned so much from her. That’s what I love about her is [that] she’s so young, but she shows us in such beautiful ways how to be fearless and a boss lady."
What This Means For Hargitay’s Relationship With Swift
Two Powerful Women Lifting Each Other Up Is Great To See
Hargitay’s comments show the influence that stars like Swift have on their peers, and it’s clear that the two women got on very well. Hargitay reveals that Swift was warm, kind, and personable, which might go some way toward explaining how she was able to bring so many successful and iconic women together for her video.
She also talks about learning a lot from Swift, which is interesting, being that they work in different fields. However, both are performers with professional obligations and challenges, and Hargitay seemingly gained a lot from seeing the way Swift enters her creative process, and how she is with people behind the scenes.
The experience was clearly a breath of fresh air for Hargitay and a fun departure from the gritty nature of theLaw & Orderfranchise. The unique setting of filming a music video versus filming episodes of television gave her an opportunity to step out of her comfort zone. Hargitay has revealed she’d be happy to work with Swift again, so the experience was a positive one, which is great.
