Dwayne Johnson candidly revealed an unusual career first: asking Taylor Swift for a favor. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the Moana 2 star shared how he stepped outside his comfort zone to secure concert tickets for a friend.

“Taylor Swift… The only one. It’s never happened in my career,” said the 52-year-old actor, expressing his reluctance to rely on favors.

Johnson explained, “Usually, I don’t have to pull strings … I just make it happen. In this case, it was for a good friend of mine who was like, ‘Please. Taylor. Last concert.’”

The Red One actor admitted, “I’m never good at asking for that kind of stuff. I’m good at giving it. Hate asking for stuff. I don’t do it.”

Nonetheless, Dwayne made the call. “Taylor made it happen, [we got] tickets … [my friend was] happy,” he said, adding that he received a photo of the overjoyed concertgoers.

“I appreciate that about Taylor,” remarked Johnson.

During the interview, Dwayne also revealed his family’s admiration for Taylor Swift and Beyoncé. “We love Taylor, we love Beyoncé,” he said, referring to his two daughters, whom he shares with wife Lauren.

Johnson shared a humorous tidbit about his younger daughter: “Tia, our littlest one, I call her Tiyoncé… She’s like, ‘Yeah!’ She owns it.”
