The All-American Rejects have had a number of hits — however Tyson Ritter revealed one had an surprising impression on none apart from Kristen Stewart.
“There’s a song called ‘There’s a Place’ that I wrote for the film called Miss You Already that starred Toni Collette and Drew Barrymore and I got to be in the film,” Ritter, 39, solely advised Us Weekly on Thursday, August 3, whereas chatting in regards to the band’s Wet Hot All-American Summer Tour. “It was a Catherine Hardwicke movie, and she asked me to write a song. And I was in my London flat with my ukulele and this song spilled outta me.”
Ritter performs Ace within the 2015 dramedy, which starred Barrymore, 48, and Collette, 50, as two greatest associates whose lives get turned the other way up after certainly one of them is recognized with most cancers.
After enjoying the music at a charity occasion attended by Hardwicke, 67, and Stewart, 33, Ritter mentioned the actress advised him the tune helped get via a romantic hardship. (Hardwicke directed the primary movie within the Twilight franchise.)
“[Kristen] came up to me and was like, ‘You did this song?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah.’ She’s like, ‘I f—king just got over a breakup and I love this song,’” he shared. “And I was so taken aback ’cause I was like, ‘But you’re Kristen Stewart and I love you and you’re great. You’re a great artist and you like something I made.’”
Though Stewart didn’t specify whom her breakup was with, the music was launched two years after her break up from Twilight costar Robert Pattinson, whom she dated from 2009 to 2013. (In 2012, Us broke the information that Stewart had cheated on The Batman actor, 37, with director Rupert Sanders.) Following her breakup with Pattinson, Steweart started courting Alicia Cargile in 2014. The pair referred to as it quits in 2016.

Not solely did “There’s a Place” have an effect on Stewart, but in addition on Ritter. “I approach everything with massive amounts of self-deprecation,” he defined to Us. “It’s really hard to get me to like myself, but that made me feel a sense of self-worth that I haven’t had in a long time. And that was a really special moment to me, to know that a song that I did 20-plus years after our career began had its own little, like, you know, biosphere.”
Other All-American Rejects songs Ritter mentioned he’s significantly pleased with are “Mona Lisa,” “Believe” and “Swing, Swing,” the latter of which he has “such an affinity” for.
He continued: “I always kind of say to myself, I’m like, ‘I like this song, man.’ And people ask, ‘Oh my God, does it get tiring to play these things?’ And when you see someone singing it … it in front of you, it gives it a life that fills you with that energy to be able to perform it back at them like that.”
Ritter is gearing as much as sing together with followers on the band’s Wet Hot All-American Summer Tour, which kicks off on August 11 in Tampa, Florida, and options New Found Glory, Motion City Soundtrack and The Get Up Kids.“This tour is the biggest headlining tour we’ve ever done in our career,” Ritter famous. “And that it’s happening 20 years plus into our career. [The fact] that we get to do this, that we even get to do this is what I’m most excited about.”
Having been on the highway with the group since he was 17 years outdated, Ritter mentioned he’s “excited to deliver a show that maybe some people have waited their lives to see from us. I feel like we’re actually up for that task now.”
