A country superstar has added his name to the list of millions of Swifties around the world.
Luke Combs, 35, got the chance to meet Taylor Swift, 35, while he was performing at Travis Kelce’s annual Tight End University had high praise for his fellow artist.
‘I got to meet her recently at the Tight End U… She was in town for that. She was really, really great,’ he told Extra after receiving the ACM International Award at the 18th ACM Honors on Wednesday in Nashville.
‘Her music is undeniable. It would be impossible to not know like every one of her songs almost,’ the hitmaker said.
Combs, who won a CMA Single of the Year award for his rendition of Tracy Chapman’s hit Fast Car, said if Taylor were up for it, he’d love to collaborate with her.
‘It’d be fun,’ he said, ‘Yeah, that would be a good time.’

The Beautiful Crazy singer caught one of Swift’s shows in Miami with his wife Nicole Hocking. ‘Her team was really, really great to my wife and her friends and it was a really great time,’ he said of the experience.
Swift has announced she will be releasing her next album, The Life of a Showgirl, on October 3, and just happened to be on boyfriend Travis Kelce’s podcast, The Heights, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason.
‘So I wanted to show you something,’ Swift said in a clip as she sat next to Travis. Then she pulled out a white case with ‘TS’ written on the side in orange block letters.
‘This is my brand-new album, The Life Of A Showgirl,’ the hitmaker said proudly as she held up a vinyl version of the album.
On Thursday revealed two new vinyl options would be available for fans, along with an alternative cover that’s part of the Baby That’s Show Business edition.
She has created several limited editions of the upcoming record: the Shiny Bug edition along with It’s Beautiful, It’s Rapturous, and It’s Frightening limited editions.
Swift said on the podcast she started working on the new songs while on her marathon Eras tour.
‘I’d do like three shows in a row. I’d have three days off. I’d fly to Sweden, go back to the tour and actually like working on this, I was physically exhausted at this point in the tour, but I was so mentally stimulated and so excited to be creating,’ she explained.

Working with her old friends Max Martin and Shellback, Swift said the new tracks were ‘some of my favorite songs that I’ve ever done before.’
Although they had worked together on hits such as Shake It Off and We Are Never Getting Back Together, they had never made a whole album together.
‘It’s just the three of us making a focused album…It felt like catching lightning in a bottle, honestly,’ she said of the experience.
The songs on The Life of a Showgirl were inspired by her backstage life during the Eras tour which Swift said, ‘just comes from like the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in in my life. And so that effervescence has come through on this record.’
