Professional wrestler Jeff Jarrett has heaped praise on Taylor Swift in a new interview, where he revealed that the singer helped his family during a “very, very dark period.”
“Y’know, that story has really extrapolated out, but she’s a friend of the family,” he began. “She was very good to my family during a very, very dark period.”
“My wife got sick, and she passed away,” Jeff explained. “But Taylor was like a big sister and came over and took the girls, baking cookies, and just kind of hung out at the house. I can’t say enough good things about Taylor.”
But Jeff went on to clarify that it wasn’t "technically" babysitting as Taylor never expected payment for the time that she spent with the girls.
Taylor even remained close with the Jarrett family as her career took off, with Jeff’s daughter Jaclyn even appearing in the music video for Taylor’s 2010 single “Mine.”
