Alyson Hannigan was “freaking out” over Taylor Swift’s reference to ‘American Pie’ on ‘So High School’.
Taylor Swift references the film franchise on one of her songs
The 50-year-old actress is a long-time fan of the chart-topping pop star, and she was thrilled that Taylor gave a nod to the hit film franchise on her song.
Alyson – who played Michelle Flaherty in the money-spinning film franchise – told Vulture: “I had my little countdown waiting for the album to drop.
“I texted my kids, “don’t bug me, say ‘good night,’ just pretend I’m not here,” because I am going to listen to this album without any interruption. I listened to the first part, went to sleep, and woke up to, Holy cow, she’s released a second part!
“I started listening to it, and when I got to ‘So High School’, I was like, ‘What?!’
“I thought maybe I was still sort of sleeping and imagining it. But when I heard it, I was freaking out.”
Alyson felt a sense of pride when Taylor – who is dating NFL star Travis Kelce – mentioned ‘American Pie’ on one of her songs.
She said: “I woke up my entire family who seemed less enthusiastic than I’d like them to be. Then I called a friend, and she and I had a nice freakout together. I was so happy. Basically, I was on the date with Travis [Kelce] and Taylor.”
‘So High School’ features on Taylor’s album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department’. And on the song, Taylor sings about watching ‘American Pie’, the 1999 teen comedy film.
Taylor sings: “I’m watching American Pie with you on a Saturday night / Your friends are around, so be quiet / I’m trying to stifle my sighs / ‘Cause I feel so high school every time I look at you.”
