Taylor Swift babysat daughters of wrestling legend in surprise crossover
WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett revealed how pop superstar Taylor Swift helped to babysit his three daughters during a challenging a difficult time for his family.
The now 57-year-old is now signed to All Elite Wrestling, but helped to make his name in the WWE, and he was inducted into the company's Hall of Fame in 2018.
During his time with the WWE, he became Intercontinental Champion on six occasions, won the Tag Team Championship once with Owen Hart, as well as becoming European Champion and winning the North American Championship.
Swift has gone on to become possibly the biggest pop star in the world in recent years.

The 35-year-old has an estimated net worth of a colossal $1.6bn and has been in a relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce since 2023.
But the pop star also helped wrestling star Jarrett in a difficult time for his family which means he always has time for Swift.
Jarrett married his high school sweetheart Jill in 1992 and the couple went on to have three daughters called Joslyn, Jaclyn, and Jerlyn.
But in 2007, Jill tragically died of breast cancer and during her illness, Swift helped the family out by looking after the couple's three daughters.
Speaking in an interview with WREG’s Live at 9, Jarrett described Swift as a 'friend of the family' and was 'very good to our family during a very, very dark period' for her actions of looking after his three daughters during his wife's illness.
All Elite Wrestling star Jarrett - who has since remarried to Karen, the former wife of Kurt Angle - said: "Taylor was like a big sister.
"She came over, took the girls baking cookies, and just hung out at the house. I can't say enough good things about Taylor.
"She's just a sweetheart. I still call her 'our girl,' and now she's up hanging in the NFL circles."
Jarrett also made it clear it was purely an act of kindness from Swift and there was no finances involved in her looking after his daughters, saying: "I can tell you this right now, she was never on the Jeff Jarrett payroll. So, technically not a babysitter."
The link between Swift and the Jarrett family has endured, with daughter Jaclyn making an appearance in the music video for the pop star's 2010 song Mine.
