Just a few nights before having dinner with friends—including self-love expert singer John Mayer—in Nashville, Swift hit a housewarming party for one of her besties, singer Hillary Scott of the hit-making country music group Lady Antebellum.
"She was just as normal and as sweet as ever," Scott told me the other day at the Sundance Film Festival. "She bought me and my roommate monogrammed little teacups and saucers that were so cute."
Keep reading to find out what else Scott and her bandmates Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood had to say about Swift, performing on the Ellen DeGeneres Show and spotting a certain hunky Hollywood star in the Park City snow...
"With all the stuff that Taylor has going on and the laundry list of things that she's required to do every day, she is very thoughtful and takes care of her people and takes care of her friends," Scott said before Lady Antebellum's performance at the Stanfield Gallery, presented by Brita and Nalgene's FilterForGood campaign. "She's also been such a huge blessing to [country music] and putting it on the map."
Haywood added, "She's opened doors for people like us. She's broken down a lot of barriers for country artists...like hosting Saturday Night Live."
Lady Antebellum's second album, Need You Now, was released today. They'll be performing at Sunday's Grammys, where they're up for two awards. On Friday, they'll be singing at the MusiCares benefit honoring Neil Young. And you can catch them on Ellen tomorrow. The last time they were on the funnylady's talk show, she presented them with one of their gold records. "I want a car this time," Kelley joked.
This was their first time at the Robert Redford film fest. "We can be driving down Main Street and see Ryan Reynolds standing on the side of the road," Scott said with a big smile. "I like that."
