Taylor Swift talked about her bond with Abigail Anderson Berard during an interview on The Oprah Winfrey Show. “I have a lot of friends who do what I do. Either they’re actresses or singers or something like that. But my best friend, Abigail, we met when I was 15. On the first day of my first year of school, we were sitting next to each other talking in English,” Swift said.
Anderson also inspired the coming-of-age track Fifteen from Swift’s 2008 album Fearless. Swift references their first meeting in the song’s lyrics, which go like this: “You sit next to a red-haired girl named Abigail in class / And soon you’re best friends / Laughing at the other girls / Who think they’re too cool / We’ll get out of here as fast as we can,” Swift sings in a portion of the song.
