Who is Ronan Farrow?

A close source who was reportedly present at the social event told Page Six: “Taylor and Ronan seem to be very close friends. They got excited, hugged, kissed, and she took his hand and went to the private room with the others.”

In addition to being a well-known journalist, he is also a writer who has contributed significantly to The New Yorker. Farrow has built a reputation for exposing sexual misconduct in Hollywood and being a voice for social justice. He played a prominent role in the #MeToo movement as he helped bring decades of sexual allegations against Harvey Weinstein to the fore, as reported by the Daily Express US.

Farrow, a Rhodes Scholar and Yale-educated lawyer, has been a strong critic of powerful men who are accused of bad behavior, especially when it comes to sexual misconduct. One of the most famous cases he has spoken about involves his father, director Woody Allen, who was accused of sexual misconduct by his adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow, in 1992.

Like the Bad Blood singer, Farrow also supported Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the last election where Donald Trump emerged victorious. And in the 2020 elections, the journalist supported candidate Joe Biden.

He previously opened up about his close relationship with Swift in 2020 via a social media post. In the post, he shared that Swift wrote him a letter praising his best-selling book Catch and Kill. The book was a pigeon in the systematic abuse that exists in Hollywood.
