Last month it was announced that singer Taylor Swift landed a role in the film adaptation of the young adult novel The Giver opposite Jeff Bridges and Meryl Streep. This is a pretty huge movie and an even bigger role for Taylor, leading everyone to believe that this role could launch her into a serious acting career. In a recent interview ABC News Radio, the "I Knew You Were Trouble" songstress revealed how she got the role in the film.

But Taylor didn't describe her audition, thus giving away some spoilers for the film, according to her the role was offered to her after some movie executives attended one of her Los Angeles "Red" Tour concerts.

When asked about getting involved in the movie, Taylor said: "Actually, the movie came about very unexpectedly."

"When I played my shows in L.A., I was unaware that people from this movie were in the audience, and I had a role offered to me the next week," the singer said. "I think my show tends to be very emotional and moody and they saw something that they needed in the role. So, I'm very honored and lucky to get to be a part of it, and we'll see how it goes."

Taylor's monumentally successful 2013 "Red" tour has apparently paid off in a number of ways, especially with this film role.

She added a plea to the end of the interview as well: "Please wish me luck."
