Look what Taylor Swift made her do.

Sarah Michelle Gellar requested a day off of filming “Dexter: Original Sin” to attend one of the pop star’s “incredible” Eras Tour shows in Miami.

The actress, 47, told “Drew Barrymore Show” viewers last week that her co-star Christian Slater “knew it was the only thing [she] cared about at work.”

When the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” alum asked “to get a Friday off” in October, she was asked “what [was] happening” with her kids.

Gellar, who shares daughter Charlotte, 15, and son Rocky, 12, with husband Freddie Prinze Jr., replied, “Well, I’m going to Miami to see the Eras Tour.”

The “I Know What You Did Last Summer” star clarified that she had already seen Swift, 35, perform in Los Angeles the previous year — “but she didn’t do ‘Tortured Poets Department'” songs at the time.

“So I got to see [that era],” Gellar gushed. “And I got to see Florence Welch do ‘Florida’ [in Florida]. It was next level.”

The former soap star documented both shows on social media.

In August 2023, she posed with her former co-star Seth Green and more concertgoers while celebrating being in her “Eras era.”

Gellar rocked a sequined white tank, a matching coat, denim jeans and sneakers to the SoFi Stadium event.

She paired a white crop top with a leather skirt at the Miami show at the Hard Rock Stadium in October of the following year.

“Florida!!!! It’s one hell of a drug,” she captioned concert footage at the time.

The Daytime Emmy winner’s daughter is also a Swiftie, with Charlotte meeting the Grammy winner in May 2018.

“I don’t often put pictures of my kids on here, but last night was truly special,” Gellar told her Instagram followers at the time. “Thank you to the incredible @taylorswift for being so kind to Charlotte. She was so in awe, she could barely speak.

“Thank you for being the kind of role model young girls need to see,” she continued. “Oh and did I mention how awesome the show was?!? I can’t believe Taylor sang 26 songs, each one better than the next!! A truly #gorgeous show!! (I definitely won big Mom points last night).”
