Taylor Swift Jokingly Reveals the Prank That Left Her Unable To Sleep and Estranged From Brad Paisley
Taylor Swift joked that she and Brad Paisley had been “estranged” since he filled her tour bus with thousands of live crickets in 2007. The prank reportedly kept her awake for months, but the story was part of a light-hearted speech as Paisley inducted her into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Swift and Paisley have remained on good terms, and he attended her wedding to Travis Kelce earlier this year. In her speech, Swift also credited Nashville’s music community with giving her the foundations that helped her write across genres and work with different artists. She became the Hall of Fame’s youngest-ever inductee and said she would cherish the honour.
