Halsey plays Laura Ingalls in the new Netflix series.

She stars as the daughter of Charles Ingalls, played by Luke Bracey, and Caroline Ingalls, played by Crosby Fitzgerald. Skywalker Hughes plays her older sister, Mary Ingalls.

In a new interview with PEOPLE, the 11-year-old shared some behind-the-scenes details, revealing, “Listen, I am a Swiftie beyond your imagination. I absolutely love her. I love all of her songs. I think that that was definitely a big bonding thing for us Ingalls.”

“I think that in the show you can definitely see how music is something that keeps us really tight and in real life, that was the same,” she added.

The ‘Days of Our Lives’ star also said that she and her on-screen sister “immediately bonded over our love of pop and Taylor Swift,” before revealing that their on-screen mother “is also a Swiftie.”

Alice Halsey made Luke Bracey a Swiftie

“And of course, when we learned that Luke was not super-duper familiar with Taylor, we were like, ‘Okay, we’re making you a Swiftie.’ So we forced him to listen to ‘Anti-Hero’ 500 times. But listen, it’s what we had to do,” she jokingly stated.

This comes after Fitzgerald revealed in another interview that Bracey is on his way to becoming a Swiftie. “He is learning. He’s learning and he actually loves it. He gets a real kick out of it and he has fun too,” the 36-year-old actress said.

She further noted, “We have our little moments with Luke, but I’m really trying ... Last night I was trying to really talk him into watching the Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour documentary. I was like, ‘You’re going to love it.’ And he’s like, ‘Alright, mate, I’ll check it out.’”

Crosby Fitzgerald praises young 'Little House' stars

The ‘Palm Royale’ star also praised her on-screen daughters, saying they are “really good singers.” She added, “They’ll just bust into any of them and we’ll just kind of rock out. I forget what we were doing last season, but this season there’s a whole new album to look forward to.”
