James Taylor is looking back at the moment he learned pop superstar Taylor Swift was named after him
The 76-year-old music legend recalled the surreal appearance during a new interview with USA Today published on Wednesday, May 8, when he was asked if he has ever had a conversation with Swift, 34, about her being his namesake.
Taylor then recounted his first meeting with the “Anti-Hero” songstress, which he said was about “15-16 years ago
We did a benefit for [the Candie’s Foundation], an organization that tries to help with teenage pregnancy, and it was interesting,” he recalled. “We were both there with guitars and played a couple of songs. I was performing with my wife and may have had a friend of ours playing cello and Taylor was there just playing by herself
She was just a teen,” the “You’ve Got a Friend” crooner said. “She told me she had listened to my music a lot and that her folks had named her with me in mind.”
Throughout her entire career, Swift has been vocal about her love for Taylor’s music, even mentioning the songwriter by name in her song “Begin Again” off her Red album.
Swift previously told her fans about the way that she found out about the inspiration behind her name years ago, explaining the story to the crowd on her Speak Now World Tour stop at Madison Square Garden in November 2011
