Watch: Will Sadie Sink Work With Taylor Swift AGAIN? She Says…

Sadie Sink remembers her first TV role all too well.

The Stranger Things star recently reflected on her 2013 television debut in an episode of The Americans, and despite being a veteran of the stage at that point, acting in front of a camera came anything but naturally.

"That was my first time on film," Sadie explained on Late Night with Seth Meyers Jan. 18. "So scared, I have no clue what I'm doing. I honestly had no idea where I was or what I was doing. And then I didn't know what the term 'rolling' meant, nobody told me. So, I was kind of clueless."

Now, a decade later, not only does the 20-year-old star on a hit Netflix series, she also recently teamed up with one of the biggest pop stars in the world: Taylor Swift.

Sadie spoke to Seth Meyers about working with the Grammy winner on her "All Too Well" short film, revealing her reaction to learning Taylor specifically wanted her to star alongside Dylan O'Brien in the video.

"Her team reached out and I guess she had me in mind for this video," she noted. "You would never think that our paths would really cross, like someone being in the music industry and then in the film industry—just two different worlds. So, it was kind of like a bizarre mash-up, but everyone was very excited."

But as much as her siblings were thrilled for their sister for her work with the "Anti-Hero" singer, she stated that they're also massive fans of Stranger Things and her character Max. So much so, that Sadie isn't afraid to clue them in on top secret spoilers from the show.

"I'm bad and I'll just give my family the scripts," she admitted. "Just my brothers. If they want to read it, I'll let them. I think that's okay. They don't tell anyone. They're big fans of the show."

Sadie can currently be seen in The Whale opposite Brendan Fraser.
