Ebon Moss-Bachrach, known for his role in “The Bear,” received a heartfelt message from Taylor Swift after winning the Critics Choice Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.

“I’ve gotta thank my two special scene partners this year, Olivia Colman and Taylor Swift,” Moss-Bachrach said in his acceptance speech.

The singer, acknowledging the mention, congratulated him on X the following day, writing “Congratulations!!”.

The reference stems from a Season 2 episode where Moss-Bachrach‘s character seeks Swift concert tickets for his family. The episode features him singing Swift‘s “Love Story” while driving.

“This is such a privilege to play this part,” Moss-Bachrach said.

“Really beautiful experience to take this man kind of from a tough place into the light. It’s not often you get to do that – to play joy. And it’s been a really wonderful, special, special experience for me.”

“The Bear” scooped four awards at the Critics Choice Awards, with Moss-Bachrach‘s co-star Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri also winning.
