"It didn't even hit melike, it hit me after I met Taylor and I was like, 'Wait. Did that actually just happen?'"

Drapete saidSwift knew her name, her birthday and her hometown and acknowledged she followsher closely online.

"Like she actually told me, her exact words were like, 'You don't know how creepy I am. I stalk your blog.' And she just looked me dead in the eye saying that," Drapetesaid.

"I still think about it every day," she said.

"Like, if I do badly on a test I'm just like, 'It's okay. I met Taylor.'"
