Wrestling legend and AEW star Jeff Jarrett has told how music icon Taylor Swift would perform private gigs in his house for his children before she became a global superstar.<\/p>\n
Jarrett, 56, went viral last week after images of a young Taylor playing a piano in the Jarrett household appeared on social media.<\/p>\n
Jeff can be seen next to her, while his two young girls were playing the piano.<\/p>\n

Another image shows Taylor playing the piano for the girls later on.<\/p>\n
And speaking exclusively to the Daily Star about it, he explained exactly how the random pairing came about.<\/p>\n
The Tennessee-born former WWE Intercontinental champion said: \u201cThe reality is she's from Hendersonville, and she is a family friend.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"When my first wife got sick, her second bout of breast cancer, she got closer with the girls.<\/p>\n
"And, you know, I love to tell the story of who really Taylor is.<\/p>\n
"She had just really broken out as an artist, but she came over and was going to stop by just to say hello.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe brought a guitar and played that song, Tim McGraw, one of the first hits, and then she ended up staying about three or four hours and it started with my girls and just a few people around the house.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen, as a small-town community does, one phone call was made, another phone call, these friends, that friend, we ended up like having 40 to 50 people at home and they got to join Taylor.<\/p>\n

\u201cAm I Swiftie?<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe I'm an OG Swiftie!\u201d<\/p>\n
Jarrett added that Taylor is a \u201cspecial human being\u201d who helped his family during a tough time.<\/p>\n
Taylor's latest tour is selling out faster than most other tours in history.<\/p>\n
And speaking of selling out, Jarrett, who now works backstage and wrestles for All Elite Wrestling, is hoping that the company will sell out Wembley Stadium later this month.<\/p>\n

The company is making its UK debut with All In, and has so far topped nearly 78,000 tickets \u2013 with just one match officially announced, an AEW World Championship bout between MJF and challenger Adam Cole.<\/p>\n
\u201cI'm a third-generation promoter, \u201che said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, if my grandmother could be here and my father could be the excitement that would be setting in.<\/p>\n
\u201cI've been a part of thousands of events.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy grandmother got in to wrestling in 1946 and did 75 years of events \u2013 and we're about to set the biggest.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat says a lot, it says a lot for the brand of AEW, for ITV, Live Nation UK is our promotional partner, in so many things it's really really exciting to be a part of history.\u201d<\/p>\n

For many fans, seeing top British talent on the show is a must.<\/p>\n
The company already has Newcastle's own PAC, Norwich's Saraya and Essex-born Jamie Hayter set to appear \u2013 although the latter is currently injured.<\/p>\n
But what about Jeff taking to the ring for the show?<\/p>\n
He is considered to be in the best shape of his entire career to date.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cIt's something that I've always had a passion for \u2013 health and fitness.<\/p>\n
\u201cA couple of years ago, I just kind of made up my mind that I'm going to give this a shot, in terms of in-ring career.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn't really have anything in mind, this is way before AEW, way before Ric Flair\u2019s last match, it was actually before Game Changer wrestling or NWA.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t have anything set in mind, I just told myself \u2018I'm going to get the best possible shape I can\u2019 and just see what happens.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was up at 5am here in the hotel we\u2019re sitting in \u2013 so don't miss a workout, don\u2019t miss a day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jarrett also picked the three AEW talent he'd love to work with \u2013 Kenny Omega, MJF and Brian Danielson.<\/p>\n
