Wait, What? Taylor Swift Was Actually Named After This Famous Musician

In 2011, Taylor shared the stage with Mr. James Taylor himself and told him the story. “It’s hugely flattering and was a delightful surprise when she told me that,” James previously recalled to Stereogum.

“She told me that her mom and dad had been really, deeply into my music, and I got a real kick out of the fact that she’d been named after me. Obviously it wasn’t her choice, it was her mom and dad, but nonetheless, a great connection, I think,” he said.
