Taylor Swift's "The Eras" Tour is one of the most highly-anticipated events of the year - not just for her regular fans, but also for her celebrity fans.

Sarah Paulson, who was in attendance at one of her six-day concerts at the SoFi Stadium earlier this year along with Lupita Nyong'o and Darren Criss, seemed to have ingrained the entire concert experience in her head.

Sarah Paulson Raved About Taylor Swift 'The Eras' Tour

Speaking exclusively to People Magazine, the Emmy-winning actress confessed that she was absolutely starstruck watching Taylor Swift at "The Eras" Tour.

"The last time I was starstruck - this is how powerful she is - was [when] I went to a Taylor Swift concert and I didn't even meet her," Paulson gushed. "For me, it was like being in the room with God herself."

Paulson's seatmate at the time was Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong'o. According to Paulson, she and Nyong'o went into the concert as not a "full-blown Swiftie," but when they got into close proximity with her, they were surely entranced with the "power of Taylor Swift."

"We got to be on the floor, and someone from her team came out and handed Lupita and me a bag of merchandise. They said to me, "This is from Taylor." I was like, 'I think I'm going to faint.'" Paulson recalled.

She also remembered wearing one of the bracelets that were attached to the merchandise simply because "it said 'Fearless' on it 'cause that's the section" they were in.

"I just was like, 'This is the coolest thing that's ever happened to me," she admitted. "I didn't take my bracelets off for two months. It was a real situation."

Sarah Paulson Had 'That' Taylor Swift Moment

Needless to say, Taylor Swift has become another celebrities' celebrity.

Recalling one instance to People Magazine, Paulson remembered that when she was walking her dogs in New York, she overheard two girls singing "Anti-Hero." Instinctively, she sang along with them and they sang together and had "that" moment.

"It was just a very cool New York moment, but also kind of [speaks to] the communication of the power of Taylor Swift," she continued to say. "I mean the power of her talent and her musical gift: that there were these two young girls singing on a bike in [the] middle of Manhattan. I could hear the lyrics, and I started singing along with them, and they turned. It was a very, really, really cool moment."
