Taylor Swift and Lena Dunham
Lena Dunham listened to Taylor Swift whilst she wrote 'Girls'.
The 28-year-old actress was full of praise for her close friend, admitting that her songs formed a "soundtrack to many of my feelings".
She told Entertainment Tonight: "Long before she was my friend, she was my friend in my head.
"I was listening to her while I wrote my first film, while I wrote the first season of 'Girls', while I wrote the second season of 'Girls' - so she's definitely a soundtrack to many of my feelings."
Meanwhile, Lena also gushed about the 'Shake It Off' hitmaker's image, calling her "a woman in control".
She said: "Her image is as a woman in control and as a woman in power, but it's also somewhat clean-cut, like the opposite of getting naked on television.
"She's one of the pop artists who noticeably isn't trafficking in her own sexuality. She has an America's Sweetheart quality, and I have sometimes like a quarter of Americans' demon quality.
"But she's really comfortable supporting what I do and saying why she thinks it can also have the power to speak to women."
The 'This is 40' actress also praised the 25-year-old singer's performances, comparing it to a Justin Bieber concert.
She added: "These girls are having peak emotional experience. I was at a Justin Bieber concert once - because Judd Apatow forced me to take his daughter because he didn't want to - and I was like, This is horrible. This is like some kind of drug has been released into the arena and three-year-old girls are crying and humping things.
"But with Taylor, it's just pure unadulterated joy; it's transportative."
