Adam Sandler ‘Gets A Little Jumpy’ Around Taylor Swift Saying He ‘Doesn’t Wanna Blow It’
Adam Sandler's been in show business since 1989, but admits there's still one pop singer in particular who can make him a little antsy.
Sandler, 57, spoke on Conan O'Brien's SiriusXM's podcast, 'Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend,' naming Taylor Swift as one of few celebs who can still leave him starstruck thanks to his daughter who is a major "Swifty."
"Because what she means to my kids — I get a little jumpy," he started. "Just cause I don't wanna blow it for my kids. So I'm a little like, 'Taylor Taylor,' like I talk a little too loud or something. I don't say it as cool as I can."

"People talk about The Beatles of it all and her," he said, comparing the "Bad Blood" singer to the chart-topping 60's band. "I mean, man, so many smash hits. There's not a word my kids don't know."
The 'Spaceman' star revealed he also knows all the lyrics to the singer's songs.
"I know them too, by the way. But they know them inside and out," he said. "But it's just, remember The Beatles, every song on the record, you know? That's Taylor Swift too. You just, there's not a song you skip. You go, 'that one's pretty d*** cool.' "
The actor's Swifty enthusiasm stems as far back as 2019, when he covered "Lover" with his kids on stage at a charity event.

'Entertainment Weekly' reported a star-studded audience, including Julia Roberts, Cindy Crawford, and Sean Penn.
Sandler went comically rogue during his speech, accepting the People's Icon Award from his co-star Jennifer Aniston. The actor joked that he thought he won "Sexiest Man Alive," and was deciding to continue with the speech anyway.
"My name is Adam Sandler and I am the Sexiest Man Alive, can I get a hell yeah?" he asked, pumping up the audience. "It's something that I think is good for the world."
