In a recent interview with TMZ Sports (via People), WWE Hall of Fame wrestler Jeff Jarrett said he's known Taylor Swift since she "was a little girl," and before his wife passed away from breast cancer, she performed a three-hour private concert for his family and friends.
Jarrett said it was around Christmas of 2006 when Swift, who moved to Jarrett's town of Hendersonville, Tenn. at a young age, performed for his family. Jarrett explained his wife was "really ill" at the time and "passed away about five months after" the private show.

The AEW star said a friend of Swift's suggested she stop by his house after his wife's diagnosis. She initially arrived at Jarrett's home without her guitar, but "actually ran back home" to grab it because his daughters "wanted her to sing and play."
What started as a small family gathering quickly grew to a party of about 45 people after Swift began to play. He called the day "an amazing experience."
"By the end of the afternoon, Taylor played about three hours," Jarrett recalled.
Jarrett said Swift, who used to babysit his daughters, has maintained contact with his family, which has meant the world to his little ones.
"But what a very cool relationship that developed," he said. "When my wife passed away, Taylor would come around, and was really good with the girls."
Swift, one of the music world's most beloved pop stars, recently made headlines with her buzzy engagement to Kansas City Chiefs' tight end Travis Kelce. She also has a new album, "The Life of a Showgirl," which debuts Oct. 3.
