Taylor Swift and Keith Urban Talk About Love and Music on the Bus

Taylor Swift has a summer schedule even Country stars would be jealous of. She’s headlining her own Fearless 2009 tour and spending some time on Keith Urban’s Escape Together tour.

"It was always a dream of mine to tour with Keith and I never got the chance to do it, so when the opportunity came about to share the stage with Keith, even though we were planning the Fearless tour, I jumped at the chance to join him," she said in an interview with GAC.

"Keith came by my bus the other day before one of our shows and we just sat and talked for an hour or more about music and what we're loving right now — we also talked about writing and what inspires us to write," Swift continued. "You know, with Keith, I've always been able to relate to his music because he writes about feelings, and feelings are so universal. He seems to have a similar fixation with love that I have, so we are able to relate to each other in that way.

"Keith has been a hero of mine, and he, along with Faith Hill and Shania Twain and Tim McGraw and the Dixie Chicks — they are the artists that made me feel that Country Music is where I needed to be," she added. "So because of that, getting to do shows with Keith this year means so much to me."
