The actress, 20, revealed that should she need to rely on music to save her life as her character Max does in season 4 of the hit Netflix series, she'd turn to "august" by Taylor Swift. "That song honestly can revive me from anything," Sink told Netflix's Tudum, while also noting that her No. 1 most listened to song of 2021 was Swift's "the 1." The first volume of Stranger Things season 4 hit screens on Friday, and gave Sink a shining moment in the spotlight in the standout episode "Dear Billy." Stranger Things Sends Kate Bush's 1985 Song 'Running Up That Hill' to No. 1 on iTunes Chart In the episode, Max is targeted by the supernatural villain Vecna, who is drawn to the guilt she feels following her stepbrother Billy's death in season 3. Despite Vecna's best efforts to make Max his latest victim (the monster has been targeting Hawkins teens with emotional trauma), he fails after Max's ragtag group of friends realizes that music — specifically her favorite song — can save her.

While Max is clearly a fan of Bush, Sink is no doubt a Swift superfan, especially after starring in the Grammy winner's short film All Too Well in November opposite Dylan O'Brien. In the moving film, which accompanied the release of "All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version)," Sink plays a younger version of Swift's character, who endures an ill-fated romance. Dacre Montgomery Shot Stranger Things Cameo Remotely from Australia During COVID: 'Blessing' The "Cardigan" singer has said that Sink was her first choice to play the role, and she did not have a backup actress in mind. "It's tricky because they're such different situations," Sink said of acting in Stranger Things and in All Too Well. "I put a little bit of myself into both. You're always going to put a little bit of yourself into whatever character you're playing. At the heart of it, they're both definitely independent." Close
