Before we get into this, let us just say that Taylor Swift might choose to not be a mother. And that is A-OH-FREAKIN-KAY. (Despite what her boyfriend’s teammate might say.) But. Should she decide to have kids, a totally unexpected insider just shared insights that have us imagining what the megastar might look like as a mom.
Wrestler Jeff Jarrett just revealed to WREG Live at 9 that the “You Belong With Me” singer was “very good to our family during a very, very dark period.” While his wife, Jill Gregory, battled breast cancer, Swift — who was a “friend of the family” — spent time with their three daughters, Joslyn, Jaclyn, and Jerlyn.
“Taylor was like a big sister,” Jarrett said, per Entertainment Tonight. “She came over, took the girls baking cookies, and just hung out at the house. I can’t say enough good things about Taylor.”
How sweet is that? We’re sure those loving and caring instincts would translate into motherhood, should Swift decide to have kids. And the fact that these acts were entirely selfless makes us even more confident in her nurturing ways.
“I can tell you this right now, she was never on the Jeff Jarrett payroll,” he stated. “So, technically not a babysitter.”
Tragically, Gregory died in May 2007, less than a year after Swift released her self-titled debut album. Three years later, Jarrett’s daughter Jaclyn appeared in the music video for Swift’s song “Mine” (remember that young blonde girl?!).
Swift and the Jarrett family have remained close, with the wrestler saying, “She’s just a sweetheart. I still call her ‘our girl,’ and now she’s up hanging in the NFL circles.”
Swift is dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and even if motherhood isn’t on the brain, she’s definitely in her Auntie Era. In April, she reportedly spent Easter with Kelce’s nieces Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett who Kelce’s brother Jason shares with wife Kylie. She’s also had adorable interactions with Kelce’s teammate Patrick Mahomes’ kids Sterling and Bronze.
The “Anti-Hero” singer is also known to have special relationships with Sophie Turner’s daughters Willa and Delphine, Adam Sandler’s daughters, Selena Gomez’s little sister Gracie, Alicia Keys’ son Genesis, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ four kids (James’ voice is on “Gorgeous!”), and more.
No matter what the future holds for Swift, it’s clear she’s still the “sweetheart” who took time out of her busy schedule to bake cookies with three little girls going through an unfathomably hard time.
