Something that most Taylor Swift fans probably don't know is that the singer-songwriter had a nice friendship with the late Kris Kristofferson, who recently passed away at age 88.

As the music industry mourns the loss of iconic singer-songwriter Kris Kristofferson, fans are remembering the friendship he had with another famous musician: Taylor Swift. The "Me and Bobby McGee" writer and the "Fortnight" singer first met in 2009 when Kristofferson presented Swift with an award at the 43rd Annual Country Music Awards.

Kris Kristofferson had a special friendship with Taylor Swift. The country star, who died Saturday at age 88, became pals with Swift, 34, in the early years of her career before she became a mainstream pop star.
