Taylor Swift might be the biggest name in music but the idea of linking her in anyway to the WWE might seem unfathomable to some.
Swift has married NFL superstar Travis Kelce this weekend in New York – coincidentally in WWE’s second home of Madison Square Garden – but as of now, has never crossed paths with WWE.
However, that’s not to say Swift doesn’t have any sort of relationships with anyone involved with the company whatsoever.
In fact, according to former Intercontinental Champion and WWE legend Jeff Jarrett, Swift is very much a friend of his own family.
Jeff Jarrett explains how Taylor Swift became so close with his family
There’s very rarely a bad word said about Taylor Swift. On the surface, she appears to live the near perfect life and has the admiration of so many in her industry.
But that admiration stretches into the wrestling world too, with Jarrett revealing how a young Swift helped his family at a tough time in the past.
“Taylor Swift stories. You know, born and raised, lived in Hendersonville since I was a kid, but Scott Swift, Taylor’s dad, in the financial services business, could work out of his house. Taylor’s got a brother, Austin, but she wanted to be a country music star from a really early age, and so they packed up, and they moved to Hendersonville. Moved down here, and you know, she went to the same high school that all my kids went, and all that,” Jarrett revealed on the Chris van Vliet podcast.
“So my first wife, Jill, had gotten real sick, and so just friends among friends around town, and that album Tim McGraw had just come out, so she was just breaking, not on tour, anything is around Christmas time. So a friend of a friend asked her to come over and play for the girls and my wife, and so that’s where the relationship started.
“In that time, TNA had so much going on there. Wife who’s sick, daughters, just a real challenging time, and so in this community one thing led to another, and it started out with seven or eight of us, and Taylor just kept playing. I’ve said this, it turned into a couple-hour concert. She played everything, but that’s when the girls and her bonded. Then, tough time, and a couple of months later, my wife passed away, and Taylor was with them through it all.
“She would call from time to time, ‘Hey, what are the girls doing this afternoon? I’d like to come over and make cookies. I’d like to just spend time with them.’ She’d come over and there’s a picture floating around playing the piano, but that’s the side of Taylor people don’t see. The little girl’s grown up, gone to the Big Apple and tying the knot, but she just became what you call a family friend, so I can officially say she’s never been on the Jarrett payroll, so she never had a paid gig as a babysitter, but very, very good to the girls.”
Whether we ever see any sort of Swift and WWE crossover, only time will tell.
But with Kelce’s brother Jason getting involved in WrestleMania previously, there is clearly an appetite from the Kelce side of things to take part.
Just picture it, Taylor Swift walking out at WrestleMania. It’s almost impossible to imagine.
