Channing Tatum is raving about Taylor Swift’s baking skills!
Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday, July 11, the actor, 44, discussed attending Swift’s Eras Tour show in Los Angeles back in August 2023 and shared a sweet tidbit about his friendship with the 34-year-old pop superstar.
“I was a fan of the music because I’ve listened to her forever but I did not know she was such an unstoppable force,” he began.
“I mean, I kind of know her a little personally and she’s really kind of just normal and sweet,” Tatum continued.
“And she’ll make you, like, a dinner, and like whip it up no problem. Like, homemade Pop-Tarts,” he explained to Fallon, 49. “Like warm, warm pop tarts,” he continued, adding, “I’m like, ‘Did you just make these? How are these warm?’ ”

“And then you get to see her go on stage, for like a three-plus hour show … I challenge any triathlete that’s a champion to go and do what she’s doing on stage,” he said.
“I was a fan fan afterwards,” Tatum explained.
The Magic Mike actor and Fallon then discussed how Swift was “cool” and “so smart.”
At the time of the show in 2023, King, 69, shared several videos on her Instagram page, which showed Tatum in the VIP area at the show, singing and dancing to songs including “Shake It Off,” and “Anti-Hero.”
The actor had been joined at the show by his daughter Everly, 11, who was captured standing in front of him in King’s videos.
“Saturday night! @taylorswift in LA w/fav daughter @kirbybump! Our 4th Taylor concert together over the years & she has taken things to another level!” she captioned the post, adding, “A round of applause to @channingtatum & @karomobrown who went all in!”
Tatum’s shout-out for Swift’s homemade Pop-Tarts isn’t the first time the singer’s version of the sweet treated has been praised.
In a February 2024 episode of NFL by NBC, Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid shared that Swift had “made the offensive linemen homemade Pop-Tarts,” which then prompted the brand themselves to ask the singer to share her recipe.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the interview with Fallon on July 11, Tatum joked that his fiancée Zoe Kravitz, who directed him in his new movie, Blink Twice, is “annoyingly cool.”
After Fallon congratulated Tatum on his engagement to Kravitz, 35, the actor responded, “Thank you for that. I’m so happy. I don’t even know how to really put it into words.”
“She’s so special. And yeah, I don’t know, to get to wake up every day and create with somebody. It’s really, really good,” Tatum continued.
After Fallon added that Kravitz is “super cool and super fun,” Tatum joked of his fiancée, “Yeah, she’s not that cool,” before saying, “No, she’s actually really annoyingly cool,” and jokingly added, “It’s a problem.”
Tatum and Kravitz were first linked in 2021, and in October 2023, multiple sources exclusively revealed to PEOPLE that the couple were engaged.
