My first wife [Jill Gregory] was really ill with breast cancer. She passed away about five months after this, so she was really ill,\u201d Jarrett said. Swift was a family friend who often babysat their young daughters. They were the ones who set the show in motion. \u201cThe girls wanted her to sing and play,\u201d he continued, noting that Swift had to \u201cactually run back home\u201d to grab her guitar.<\/p>\n More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cShe kind of bonded with the family, specifically with the girls,\u201d Jarrett said. Swift continued to show up for the family after Gregory died. \u201cWhat a very cool relationship that developed. When my wife passed away, Taylor would come around, and was really good with the girls.\u201d<\/p>\n Jarrett keeps in touch with Swift\u2019s father, Scott Swift, and is rooting for Swift and her fianc\u00e9, Travis Kelce. \u201cIt\u2019s very cool to see this side of Taylor,\u201d he said. \u201cShe\u2019s early 30s, and I can just see little kids running around when Scott and Andrea have grandbabies. It\u2019s really cool to see the evolution of her not of her professional career, but her personal life.\u201d<\/p>\n Swift and Kelce announced their engagement <\/a>on Aug. 26. \u201cYour English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,\u201d they wrote in a shared Instagram post. During an appearance on his New Heights podcast, the musician said that their love story \u201cis sort of what I\u2019ve been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager.\u201d<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
