  "account": "Seven years after the 2019 Grammy Awards, Bebe Rexha still recalls Taylor Swift's kind gesture towards her. At the time, Rexha had difficulty finding a designer to dress her for the ceremony because of her body type. Swift, who was the same age as Rexha, reached out to help. \"I couldn't find a dress, and she had reached out to me because we're the same age,\" Rexha told E! News. The singer's gesture made Rexha feel like she belonged, and that kindness left a lasting impression. Seven years later, Rexha entered the VMAs red carpet confidently, wearing an all-black outfit designed by Dreaming Eli. While reminiscing about Swift's act of kindness, Rexha also remembered the late country star, Dolly Parton. Rexha and Parton collaborated on the 2023 song \"Seasons.\" The singer remembered Parton's star power, energy, and kindness. She joked that seeing Parton's outfit on set made her wonder if she had dressed up enough. However, Rexha emphasized that Parton's impact went beyond her appearance. \"She was like the most energetic, kind, chill,\" Rexha said. \"I loved it... sometimes when you meet your idols, they kind of let you down. I've been in situations like that, but with her... she was amazing.\"",
