Pop icon Taylor Swift is due for some good “karma,” as per pro wrestler Jeff Jarrett via PEOPLE.
In a new interview with TMZ Sports, the WWE Hall of Famer, said that he’s known the pop star, since she “was a little girl.”
Swift not only babysat his daughters. She also performed at an impromptu and intimate concert at his home after his wife was diagnosed with cancer, he said.
The “Shake It Off” singer was very young when she and her family moved to Jarrett’s hometown of Hendersonville, Tenn., Jarrett told TMZ. He grew accustomed to seeing the then-rising star who has “the legendary story” of “knocking on labels’ doors,” which made her stand out in their “small community.”
“It was Christmas of 2006. My first wife [Jill Gregory] was really ill with breast cancer. She passed away about five months after this, so she was really ill,” Jarrett explained.
Per Jarrett, a friend of Swift’s suggested she stop by his family’s home, which was music to his daughters’ ears. By then, Swift had already scored her first hit with “Tim McGraw” and her self-titled debut album.
“Obviously, like every little girl in America, my daughters were big Taylor fans, and her songs had just kind of broke, but she was a hometown girl,” he continued, noting that she was a big deal in Tennessee before the rest of the world caught on.
Jarrett remembered their holiday get-together as “an amazing experience.”
