Carrie Coon Applauds Taylor Swift’s ‘Very Good’ Impression of Her ‘Gilded Age’ Character: ‘She’s So Bertha’

"I didn't see it that night, and then I woke up to thousands of text messages," the HBO actress recalls The post Carrie Coon Applauds Taylor Swift’s ‘Very Good’ Impression of Her ‘Gilded Age’ Character: ‘She’s So Bertha’ appeared first on TheWrap .

At Wednesday night's "Tonight Show" visit, Carrie Coon expressed admiration for Taylor Swift's impression of her character Bertha Russell from "The Gilded Age." Swift had previously delighted viewers with her take on Bertha during an interview on the show last year, which sparked a wave of online attention. During Coon's appearance, Jimmy Fallon replayed the clip of Swift's impression, prompting the actress to respond positively.

Coon noted, "She’s very good," praising the impression as accurate and well-executed. She further compared Swift's impression to her character's ambition, stating, "It’s the right affectation. She’s so Bertha. I mean, she’s such an entrepreneur." Coon even drew a whimsical parallel, suggesting that if Bertha were living today, she'd resemble Swift's entrepreneurial spirit.

The actress also playfully imagined Swift as a potential future guest on the show, hinted at by Matt Damon and David Letterman's cameo in the Season 4 premiere. Fallon, in his signature style, queried Coon about the possibility of Swift reprising her role, to which she responded enthusiastically, "I think she should!" Coon specifically cited Swift's impressive cameo at this year's Emmy Awards, where she spoofed "SVU," as evidence of her comedic prowess, concluding, "She’d be an excellent nemesis."
