Wrestler Jeff Jarrett Says Taylor Swift Played Three-Hour Private Concert for Wife Dying of Cancer

"It was Christmas of 2006. My first wife was really ill with breast cancer,"

"She passed away about five months after this, so she was really ill, and a friend of Taylor's said, 'Hey, why don't you drop by?' Obviously, like every little girl in America, my daughters were big Taylor fans. Her songs had just kind of broke[n to the mainstream], but she was a hometown girl."

""By the end of the afternoon, Taylor played about three hours," he said, before adding that was the moment when "she kind of bonded with the family, specifically with the girls.""

At Christmas 2006, Taylor Swift performed a private concert at Jeff Jarrett's Nashville home for his first wife, who was dying of breast cancer. Swift initially arrived without her guitar but returned home to fetch it because Jarrett's daughters wanted her to sing and play. The gathering began with about seven people and swelled to around 45 as word spread. Swift played for roughly three hours and formed a bond with the family, especially the daughters. Swift later visited after the wife's passing, helped with the girls, baked cookies, and was never a babysitter as rumored. Jarrett also joked about inviting Travis Kelce into pro wrestling post-retirement.
