Taylor Swift – see what the actor had to say below.On a recent episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Carell recounted appearing on MTV’s TRL “early” in his career, where he met Swift for the first time: “[It was] early on in my career and hers, too.

I met her sort of in passing, and I thought, ‘Boy, she seems special.’ Even back then. Very sweet, very nice, just had a really nice first impression.”However, it was a couple of years later that Carell really cemented his status as a Swiftie: “I remember seeing some video of her — and it wasn’t like a big, viral thing, it was just something I found in the recesses of the internet — it was her in a hospital, playing an acoustic guitar for a patient there.”Carell went on to explain: “It was no big crew, it was, like, a really low-key, handheld thing she did on the sly.

I thought, ‘That’s so cool.’ Not publicized, leading with her heart. I thought, ‘OK, I’m a fan. I am going to root for that person.’”In May, Swift kicked off the European leg of her ‘Eras’ tour.

She’s next due to play three shows in Liverpool from June 13-15, one night in Cardiff on June 18 and three in London’s Wembley Stadium on June 18-22.
