Adam Sandler declares Taylor Swift has no skips
Adam Sandler gets a little nervous around Taylor Swift, he tells Conan O'Brien
Conan O’Brien and Adam Sandler agree there aren’t many younger stars they get starstruck by. Except: “You know what—Taylor Swift,” Sandler says on O’Brien’s podcast. “Because what she means to my kids, I get a little fuckin’ jumpy. ’Cause I don’t wanna blow it for my kids. So I’m a little like ‘Taylor, Taylor,’ you know, like I talk a little too loud or something. I don’t act as cool as I can.”
But Sandler’s relationship to Swift is not just sweet girl dad stuff. “People talk about The Beatles of it all, and her. I mean, man, so many smash hits. There’s not a word my kids don’t know,” he shares, adding, “I know ’em too, by the way, but they know ’em inside and out. It’s just… remember the Beatles, every fuckin’ song on the record you knew? That’s Taylor Swift too. There’s not a song you skip. You go, ‘That one’s pretty damn cool.’”
Yet another accolade Taylor Swift can add to her illustrious array: Adam Sandler has declared her entire discography a no-skip. It’s not the first time she’s been compared to the Beatles, either, and not just because of the sheer enormity of her current fame. She also recently surpassed the British band’s Billboard record for the most weeks spent in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 albums chart in the last 60 years across all her top 10 charting albums combined.
Sandler proved his Swiftie bonafides last year by landing a spot in the VIP tent during the Los Angeles tour stop of Swift’s Eras Tour. Like many attendees, the comedian was spotted at the show rocking friendship bracelets, which fans traded and gave away throughout the tour. Later, he also brought his family to the premiere of the Eras Tour concert film and snagged prime seats right behind Swift herself. The singer made headlines for sweetly embracing Sandler’s daughters Sunny and Sadie (the stars of the Netflix comedy You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah), and Sandler made headlines for rocking out to her song “Karma.”
