"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 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!
