'The White Lotus' star Meghann Fahy says she was so starstruck before meeting Taylor Swift that she 'almost threw up'
- Meghann Fahy recalled her experience meeting Taylor Swift in a new interview with W magazine.
- "I almost threw up before meeting her," Fahy said, adding that she began crying when she saw Swift.
"The White Lotus" star Meghann Fahy is such a big fan of Taylor Swift that she couldn't keep her cool when she met the musician.
"I couldn't have been more starstruck," Fahy said in an interview with W magazine for their fourth annual TV Portfolio, released Tuesday. "I almost threw up before meeting her."
"I saw her from across the room, and I just started crying involuntarily," she continued. "I was so embarrassed. I was like, I cannot say hello to her with tears in my eyes. I have to pretend to be seminormal, but I don't think I fooled her. She put her arm around me, and she was like, you're fine."
Fahy said the moment was punctuated by Swift revealing that she watched "The White Lotus."
"That was a true highlight for me," the actor said.
Fahy, known for starring on the Freeform series "The Bold Type," received critical acclaim for her performance as Daphne Sullivan on the HBO show "The White Lotus."
Fahy appeared on season two of "The White Lotus," which was set in Italy and premiered in October. Since the season concluded in December, Fahy has been nominated for a Primetime Emmy for outstanding supporting actress in a drama series.
Fahy didn't specify when exactly she met Swift, but the singer embarked on her Eras Tour in March and recently wrapped up the first US leg of the tour.
Fahy also recalled her interaction with Swift during an appearance on Josh Horowitz's podcast, "Happy Sad Confused," in June.
"I almost puked because I saw her and I've been in love with her since I was 16 or whatever," Fahy said. "She looked at me and she was like, 'Oh my God, I'm such a fan' and I just died. It was very surreal."
The actor added that there are "very few people" whom she admires and would be so starstruck by.
"Usually I'm pretty cool but on that night, I was less cool," Fahy said.
