Not only is she a multi-award-winning, record-breaking musician, Taylor Swift is also a mean chef — according to Channing Tatum.

The actor and friend of Swift's revealed her advanced cooking secrets in a recent interview while promoting his new film Blink Twice. During a sit down with SiriusXM alongside his co-stars this week, Tatum raved about Swift's ability to whip up a delicious meal.

One of the interviewers told Tatum that she had recently become a Swiftie after attending the Eras Tour without knowing many songs — “I was radicalized," she joked. And when asked what Tatum's favorite Taylor Swift Era was, he diverted to her other lesser-known ability.

“Look it's really tough, I can't even pick,” Tatum said. “The girl can just like, turn around and just give you an anthem. And she just does it in her sleep.”

He continued: “But what's beautiful, that I really think you should know — what's beautiful and also frustrating — she can also just cook a random, three-star Michelin Italian meal.”

The interviewer laughed and said, “That's not fair.”

Tatum then went on to say that Swift will ask her friends what they want to eat and request a “genre” of food.

“We'll be like, ‘Italian.' And she'll just whip out a risotto,” he continued. “And she's talking to you while she's doing it.”

To finish off the delicious meal, Tatum said Swift will then provide her guests with dessert, including warm homemade Pop-Tarts. Tatum has mentioned the Pop-Tarts before, in an interview on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last month, where he also mentioned how impressed he was when he went to the Eras Tour with his young daughter.

Channing Tatum has become part of Taylor Swift's orbit of high-profile friends likely thanks in part to his fiancé Zoë Kravitz. The three were pictured leaving Jack Antonoff and actor Margaret Qualley's rehearsal dinner last year together in New Jersey when a massive crowd of Swifties gathered outside of the private event. Kravitz is also credited on Swift's song “Lavender Haze” from her 2022 album Midnights, but the actor clarified in a recent interview that she didn't technically write it and that “elements” of a song Kravitz had written with Antonoff were used for “Lavender Haze.” Despite trying to tell Swift that she did not need to credit her, the singer did anyway. “She’s very kind that way,” Kravitz added.
