Anne Hathaway + FKA twigs on ‘Keeping It Snatched,’ ‘Mother Mary’ & ‘Total Feeling’ in Dance

Anne Hathaway’s big summer starts now: The Oscar-winning actress sat down with Popcast to talk about the three very different movies she has scheduled for release in the next few months, with five in all coming before the end of 2026. First up is “Mother Mary,” from the director David Lowery, in which Hathaway plays a Taylor Swift-Lady Gaga hybrid pop star going through a dark period (with songs written and produced by Charli XCX, Jack Antonoff and FKA twigs). After that comes “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” in which she returns as Andy, followed by Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” in which she plays Penelope, Queen of Ithaca. In a wide-ranging conversation with the Popcast hosts Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli of The New York Times, Hathaway discusses her brief foray into pop stardom, the influence and impact of Taylor Swift and learning to enjoy her “Mother” Era after years of difficult-to-navigate public backlash. 1:53 Anne’s early pop star inspirations 7:42 Working with director David Lowery on “Mother Mary” 9:16 Anne’s admiration for Taylor Swift 12:54 Recording with Jack Antonoff and learning how to vibe 19:02 Musical theater singing vs. pop star singing 21:42 How being an actress differs from being a pop star 26:32 Choosing her roles strategically 31:39 Why is Anne returning to her classic characters? 34:46 Dealing with the highs and lows of internet discourse 37:42 Anna Wintour and Vogue’s embrace of “The Devil Wears Prada” 41:00  Special guest FKA twigs!!! 45:37 How twigs’s dance background informed her role in “Mother Mary” 53:35 The Popcast Lightning Round 1:01:25 Snack time!
