John Stamos is proving he's just as much a Swiftie as the rest of us.
On Friday, October 18, Taylor Swift marked her return to the U.S. leg of her tour with a fun video, showing her casually walking into Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium before her first show since August. This stretch of performances also signifies the last leg of her hugely successful tour.
A few days after the pop icon posted the video, "Full House" star John Stamos recreated Taylor Swift’s viral Eras Tour return video, and fans can’t get enough.

In the original video, the pop star is seen strolling into the Miami Dolphins' stadium, dressed in a yellow sweatshirt and light-washed jeans, casually holding her cat, Olivia Benson as GloRilla and Sexyy Red's "Whatchu Kno About Me" plays in the background.
As the camera zooms in on her face, Swift smirks and takes off her glasses, glancing around the venue with a confident look.
In a new hilarious clip, Stamos perfectly mimics Swift’s playful entrance into Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium, right down to the details. However, Stamos clutched his memoir instead of cradling a cat like Swift.
"We both went back on tour…" he wrote in the caption. "My memoir is now available in paperback."

John Stamos Reflects On Life’s Ups And Downs In ‘If You Would Have Told Me’
In his memoir, "If You Would Have Told Me," John Stamos takes readers on an emotional journey through the highs and lows of his life.
"I had to shine a light on the human stuff that people could relate to. Because I can’t just be like, 'I played with the Beach Boys! And then I did this, then I did that!'" he said when promoting his memoir. "My childhood was great, but I was a dorky kid who thought I had to be something else to get girls. I always say that I wanted to be famous, and I did. But even more, I just wanted to be liked and accepted."
John Stamos Reveals His Babysitter Molested Him
One of the most shocking aspects of his memoir was when he revealed he was a victim of sexual abuse.
"I feel like I’m a charlatan spending 30 years advocating for abused children and sexualized kids, not admitting that it happened to me," he revealed. "Whatever level it was, I consider a lighter version of what a lot of these poor kids go through. They were giving me an award at Childhelp in Arizona, and I was writing a speech, and [the memory of the assault] came back then."
While he initially wanted to forget that it ever happened, he ultimately decided that it was important to talk about. "It’s like one out of every seven girls have been sexually abused, and one out of every 25 boys," he said. "That’s wrong, because boys don’t talk about it. And so, that’s why I felt, like, 'I’m a man, I’m going to talk about [my experience], and maybe some kids will talk about theirs. It’ll help.'"
If you or someone you know has been affected by sexual violence, it's not your fault. You are not alone. Help is available 24/7 through the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE or visit the Online Hotline.
