"She caused absolute mischief and it was hilarious and fun," Erivo said of Swift, per Entertainment Weekly.
Erivo, 38, explained that "it took a really long time" on the Grammys red carpet ahead of the awards show "because I feel very guilty if I miss people on the carpet, so I tried to do every interview and those interviews ran a little bit long."
When the actress eventually walked into the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, host Trevor Noah had already begun his monologue. Erivo didn't have time to find her assigned seat—and that's when Swift, 35, stepped in.
The "Shake It Off" singer noticed Erivo's situation, waved her over and said, "Just come over here. Sit here," the actress behind Elphaba explained.
"So I was like, 'OK,' and then just came and sat next to her and just waited," the Broadway star recounted.
As fans remember all too well, Swift and Erivo then recreated the "holding space" gesture—when grabbed Erivo's finger during an interview with Out.
Hopefully, Swifties will have a chance to see the "So High School" singer cause even more "mischief" at awards shows this year.
Fans are definitely crossing their fingers that Swift and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, will finally make their red carpet debut at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards on June 21!

Want a Tony? Try playing one of these iconic roles.
Danny Burstein was uniquely aware of the legacy he was joining when the actor rehearsed for the Broadway revival of 'Gypsy' and prepared to portray Herbie, the compassionate talent manager who romances Mama Rose. Burstein, 60, had appeared in the 1993 production of 'Three Men on a Horse' alongside Jack Klugman, the actor who played Herbie in 'Gypsy's' 1959 Broadway premiere. Over the years, Burstein also worked with Jonathan Hadary, John Dossett and Boyd Gaines — the actors who had inhabited Herbie in the beloved musical's three most recent Broadway revivals. After all four of those performers earned Tony Award nominations for the role, Burstein wasn't daunted by the prospect of living up to their performances. In fact, he invited their influence.
