In the interview, the star affectionately likened Stranger Things to ‘a machine’ and, having gained insight into her own preferences, acknowledges that she’s not eager to step into another Hollywood machine anytime soon. 

‘I don’t want to play a superhero or a princess. I just want to make sure everything that I’m doing is different than the last. I’m still young, and I’m still learning.’

Sadie also teased the fate of her character Max on the final season of Stranger Things, saying, ‘They love having me run. That’s all I’ll say.’

As for playing the lead in Taylor’s 13 minute short film/music video based on Taylor’s song All Too Well from her Red (Taylor’s Version) album, Sadie admitted she had growing pains on set. 

‘At that point, I had never been in love. I had never been through a breakup that intense. It was all foreign territory for me. I had to rely on just my years of research as a Swiftie…’ she told the outlet. 

‘But as I was going, things from my personal life kind of came forward, which fueled it even more. Then I was like, “Whoa. Maybe I should do some work on Sadie in these areas…”

‘It holds this incredibly nostalgic feeling for me now that I feel physically in my body. It’s too intense.’

Sadie was cast alongside Dylan O’Brien for All Too Well, which Taylor wrote, directed and also appeared in it.
