On Friday, Saturday Night Live star Bowen Yang appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he talked about his experience with the one and only Taylor Swift.

Now, if you remember, last month Taylor Swift was the musical guest on SNL, where she performed the 10-minute version of her masterpiece "All Too Well."

Well, Bowen told Jimmy about how he lurked outside her dressing room because he wanted a pic. Relatable.

“Sometimes they say, like, ‘Don’t meet your heroes.’ She’s a hero. And she was lovely all week. But I was like, ‘You know, after the show she’s probably riding high — she doesn’t want to talk to the riff-raff like me.’”

"I finally knocked on her door. She couldn't have been nicer. I was like, 'I don't normally do this, but can we please take a picture?'"

"She was like, 'Of course. Can Sadie Sink — the star and the muse of my music video — be in it?' I was like, 'Of course!'"

“Other people in the dressing room were there. She was like, 'Who should take it?' And then, Deadpool himself, Ryan Reynolds, was like, ‘I’ll do it!’” Bowen continued. "The star of Just Friends himself."

And that's how we captured this PERFECT moment:

Bowen even captioned it with "Holy Ground" lyrics, UGH YES:

Bowen wrote "Right there where we stood!!!!!"

"I was blissed out!" Bowen said, describing himself in the pic.

Honestly, so was I when I saw that post. Ugh, you're all legends. Bye!
