Jelly Roll may be one of the biggest country stars in the world, but he was still extremely nervous to meet Taylor Swift a the 2024 Grammy Awards.
In fact, he was so starstruck that he completely flubbed his first interaction with the “Anti-Hero” singer.
He told People: “Taylor lived in Hendersonville, [Tennessee], for a while, and she had bought a playground. I used to push [daughter] Bailee on that swing set that Taylor donated to Hendersonville. I wanted to tell her that when I met her, but I was so nervous I couldn’t even remember what swing set it was.”
“My wife [Bunnie Xo] said, ‘I think Taylor’s coming over to holler at you.’ It was like the Red Sea parted for her,” he continued. “I’m looking at Taylor Swift and I have a reason to explain to her why I like her so much, and I’m going, ‘You built the swing set somewhere, my daughter, I pushed her on it.’ I did so bad! Definitely was at a loss for words in that moment.”
