Responding to a fun question about who he'd intern for, the 64-year-old rock legend said at the John Varvatos 10th Annual Stuart House Benefit, "She's blonde with all the hits. Taylor Swift. She's hot."
"More than that, she's beyond talented. I have to write a song with her," he added.
The former American Idol judge also talked about missing working on the Fox show, reported Us magazine.
"I always wanted to see what the other mountains looked like. TV is a whole other animal, and it was good. I miss JLo a lot and Randy (Jackson) on and off."
Tyler served as a judge on the show for Seasons 10 and 11 but decided to leave to return to his first love - music. "It feels good to be back with my band again. It feels really good," he said.
