Country star Kenny Chesney recently expressed his admiration for Taylor Swift's talents as a songwriter. During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Chesney, who has a long history with Swift, spoke highly of her abilities in both writing and performing.

"I've known Taylor a long time," Chesney, 55, shared with host Pat McAfee. "She has done, obviously, an unbelievable job." He went on to highlight Swift as one of the best songwriters in the world, emphasizing that her creative soul surpasses her role as an entertainer. According to Chesney, Swift's gift for songwriting comes from a deep place within her, making her exceptional at her craft.

Swift, now 34, credited Chesney with giving her career a significant boost when she was just a teenager. In an interview with Time magazine, she recalled how Chesney offered her an opening slot on his tour at the age of 17. While Swift couldn't join due to her age clashing with the tour's beer company sponsor, Chesney later provided financial support to help her pursue her budding career.

Since that missed opportunity, Swift has become one of the biggest stars on Earth. Her Eras Tour continues to enjoy success, and her 2022 album "Midnights" earned her a record-breaking fourth Album of the Year win at the recent 2024 Grammy Awards. Furthermore, her popularity extends beyond music, as she made headlines during the NFL season for attending Kansas City Chiefs games to support her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

However, not everyone has been supportive of Swift's presence at football games. Some fans have praised her for introducing her audience to the NFL, while others have criticized her visibility during broadcasts. Chesney, on the other hand, fails to comprehend the negativity aimed at Swift and Kelce's relationship.

With Chesney's glowing endorsement, it is clear that Swift's talent as a songwriter is widely recognized and respected within the music industry. As she continues to captivate audiences with her music and break records, there is no doubt that her creative prowess will endure for years to come.
