Inside Kris Kristofferson and Taylor Swift’s unlikely friendship as she branded him the ‘best role model’ – following iconic singers death aged 88
As I reflect upon the passing of Kris Kristofferson, a man whose talent and charisma left an indelible mark on the world of music, I find myself reminiscing about our shared experiences in the realm of A Star Is Born. Having walked that same path with him, albeit decades apart, I can attest to the profound impact he had not only on the industry but also on those fortunate enough to work alongside him.
Kris Kristofferson, who passed away, and Taylor Swift developed an unanticipated bond following their respective rise to prominence within the realm of country music and subsequent entry into the broader pop culture scene.
Following the announcement that he had peacefully passed away at his Maui, Hawaii residence, surrounded by family, on Saturday.
According to Our Journal, at age 34, Taylor praised Kris as her top role model. She noted that Kris had proven himself a dedicated fan of Taylor, or a ‘true Swiftie.’ Furthermore, Taylor admired Kris’ exceptional songwriting skills.
At the 2010 fundraiser for Nashville’s Country Music Hall of Fame, Taylor Swift lavished praise on her friend who, like her, had been inducted into the hall.
Expressing her admiration, she exclaimed, “They’re simply outstanding examples for me!” or “I couldn’t ask for better role models than them!
In 2009, during the Country Music Awards, he was there to personally award Taylor with one of her four trophies.
To solidify their bond, Kris opted for a photo featuring them as his inaugural Instagram post from 2022.
A great choice for starting Kris’ Instagram account officially is this photo he took with Taylor Swift at the “All For The Hall” concert benefit held by @officialcmhof in 2010!
Kris’ passing was mourned by heartfelt tributes from Barbra Streisand and Dolly Parton, who led the way among celebrities.
Paying tribute to her co-star from A Star Is Born, Streisand (aged 82), posted a sentimental picture of the 1976 album cover that accompanied the film, as well as a more current photograph of them performing together on stage.
Next to the picture, she reminisced: “Seeing Kris perform at the Troubadour club in L.A. for the first time made me realize he was extraordinary.
Walking barefoot with his guitar in hand, he appeared as if he’d been tailor-made for the role I had envisioned. That character later evolved into the protagonist of the movie we now know as ‘A Star Is Born’.
‘In the movie, Kris and I sang the song I’d written for the film’s main love theme, ‘Evergreen.’
At my 2019 show in Hyde Park, London, I invited Kris to perform our duet “Lost Inside Of You” from A Star Is Born. He was his usual charismatic self, and the audience responded with a standing ovation. It was heartwarming to witness him receive the admiration and affection he truly earned.
She concluded her post by offering condolences to Kristofferson’s family.
‘My thoughts go to Kris’ wife, Lisa who I know supported him in every way possible.’
1976’s A Star Is Born remake cast Kristofferson as the tormented rock star, John Norman Howard, opposite Streisand, where he played the troubled counterpart.
He won the Golden Globe in 1977 for his work in the film.
Additionally, Dolly penned a heartfelt eulogy, expressing her sentiments on Instagram on Sunday with the following words: “A tremendous loss. An exceptional author. An outstanding performer. A cherished companion.
At last, she expressed her eternal affection for Dolly, ending with, “Forever yours,” and appending her signature – a charming butterfly design.
Dolly and Kris had been close companions for a long time, often working together on multiple duets that included fan favorites like “From Here to the Moon and Back” and “Put It Off Until Tomorrow.
Back in 1982, they joined forces with Willie Nelson and Brenda Lee to produce an album titled “The Winning Hand.
Later on, the album sparked a television special titled “The Winning Hand,” which aired in 1985. This special was masterfully hosted by the legendary Johnny Cash.
