In an interview with People magazine on August 18, 2025, Dunne said she admires Taylor Swift. She praised Taylor for being genuine and strong in the public spotlight. She found common ground with Swift, noting that both of them date professional athletes and have to deal with the public attention that comes with it.
She also called Swift a “badass businesswoman” and a “trailblazer,” and she praised her strong work ethic. She admires how Swift handles criticism and remains authentic in her art and career.
She was particularly inspired by Swift’s appearance on the New Heights podcast, where Swift advised listeners to treat their energy like a “luxury item.” Dunne noted this advice resonated with her, especially regarding her own social media use.
