He continued, “She’s just a sweetheart. I still call her ‘our girl,’ and now she’s up hanging in the NFL circles,” referencing Swift’s relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.Of the childcare rumor, Jarrett clarified, “She was never on the Jeff Jarrett payroll. So, technically, not a babysitter.”

This isn’t the first time the pro wrestler has opened up about his connection with Swift. Jarrett previously recalled how one of his daughters portrayed a younger version of the pop star in her music video for “Mine.””The ‘Mine’ video is so creative. And my daughter, Jaclyn, looked like a little Taylor,” he told the Instinct Culture podcast in 2021 of the 2010 music video. “Taylor, being as bold as she always is, just said, ‘I want Jaclyn in the video.'”
Today, Swift is in the midst of her wildly popular Eras Tour. She next plays in Zürich on July 9 and 10 before traveling to Milan for two more shows on July 13 and 14.
