Taylor Swift admits she was terrified about meeting Michelle Obama.

She explained: To be awarded an award from the First Lady was one of the most exciting things, I was so honoured and Ive always been such a huge fan of hers.

Ive been really terrified to meet her because Im such a fan. I never went to the White House. I never like got a chance to meet her and so to get to meet her on a night like tonight, where shes giving me an award for something; it was just over-the-top amazing. Im so thankful.

The Presidents wife isnt the only person to have left the Love Story hitmaker feeling starstruck. Taylor was joined on stage during her 2011 Speak Now tour by rapper T.I , and admits she couldnt believe her luck.

She told MTV News: It was just amazing. I was so excited because Im such a fan. He showed up for sound check and we were all just so starstruck.
