Jessica Chastain is recalling the sweet way Taylor Swift once helped her shake it off.

The Memory star says the “Blank Space” singer made her a personalized playlist full of breakup songs after they met at the Met Gala in 2011.

“It was like the first year I was invited to the Met Ball, the first year I had movies out, and we were both sitting next to each other next to Ryan Murphy who was just starting to become successful with all his TV shows,” Chastain told host Jimmy Fallon on Friday's episode of The Tonight Show. "And she was so sweet. I just went through a breakup, and I was talking to her about that. And, you know, we went and danced together. It was such a fun night.”

The party ended, but the good vibes only continued. “The next day, I had an e-mail from iTunes that said, like, Taylor Swift, whatever, and I just thought it was a Taylor Swift album,” Chastain said. The reality? “She had made me a breakup playlist that she sent me," the actress revealed. "Isn’t that the sweetest thing?”

“Here I thought it was like a Taylor Swift advertisement,” she continued. “And I was like, wait a minute. She curated all these breakup songs to send me to help me get through my breakup.”

They have remained friends in the years since their mixtape moment. In August, Chastain posted a snapshot on Instagram of her with Swift — plus several concert clips — from the New Mexico stop of the Eras Tour.

“Spamming u w really good @taylorswift Eras Tour content,” Chastain captioned her post.
