"You know, she did a little dirty thingy-thingy in the windmill is what I heard... She did the deed," Taylor told Extra's Derek Hough.
Derek playfully corrected her and replied, "I think it was 'deeds.'"
Taylor smiled and said, "Oh, even better," before joking, "Might have to top that."
Taylor, however, repeated how she was just "kidding" because she's "kind of shy with PDA."
"So that will be new to me, like, openly kissing, groping, all that on TV," the divorced mom of three kids explained.
Even if Taylor navigates The Bachelorette process differently, she said Hannah is definitely her favorite Bachelorette of all time.
Hannah had starred on The Bachelorette's fifteenth season in 2019.
"She's iconic," gushed The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star.
"And I actually had her season on as I was getting ready to go, and it kind of got me nervous because I was getting in my head, like, 'Oh, my gosh, what if this happens to me?'"
On Hannah's season, she got into arguments with the uber-religious Luke Parker and later discovered her winner, Jed Wyatt, had a girlfriend back home in Nashville while he was filming The Bachelorette.

Hannah's "Jesus still loves me" sexual encounters with Peter also made headlines in 2019 considering she eliminated him in third place and he was heartbroken.
Taylor said she's trying her best not to analyze and overthink the situation. However, she noted how she admired Hannah for being "blunt and straight to the point."
Taylor added, "That's how I'm going to be, if not worse."
Taylor also revealed that Hannah actually reached out to her before filming began on Season 22.
"She reached out to me, actually... I was fan-girling because I'm like, 'No way. She's reaching out.' She's like, 'Hey, girl, if you need anything, I'm here. Reach out if you need anything,'" Taylor shared.
"But I was really scared to dive into conversation because I didn't want to get nervous for it where I'm overthinking it."
Taylor's potential cast of bachelors was announced by ABC last week, and filming, according to Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone, began on Sunday, October 26.

Taylor, for her part, previously opened up on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast how she's not sure how she's going to handle Fantasy Suite Week on The Bachelorette.
Taylor admitted she'd "feel lots of guilt" and pretty "sh-tty" to have sex with multiple guys, but at the same time, she reasoned, "If you don't connect, that could be a huge issue down the road."
Taylor married Tate Paul in 2016 and the pair welcomed two children together: daughter Indy, 8, and son Ocean, 5.
Taylor had admitted to violating the rules of the couple's soft-swinging arrangement by becoming more intimate with another man in their friend group, which led to their separation and eventual divorce in May 2022.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which premiered in 2023 on Hulu, featured Taylor's cheating scandal.
The show has also documented Taylor's first post-divorce relationship with Dakota Mortensen.
Taylor and Dakota made their romance public in July 2022, and then they welcomed a son together, Ever True, in March 2024.
Taylor and Dakota appeared to break up in late 2024, although Taylor didn't publicly confirm their split until May of this year.
While The Bachelorette won't be returning until next year, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is set to release new episodes on November 13 on Hulu.
Two other stars from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Whitney Leavitt and Jen Affleck, are also currently competing on Dancing with the Stars' 34th season on ABC and Disney+.
