You Oughta Know artist James Bay is on the verge of making it big stateside, and he's already won over Taylor Swift as his number one fan.

While opening for YOK alum Hozier, James met Taylor. He knew her (obvs), but he didn't know she knew him, too. "She said, 'Excuse me, James Bay,' which was kind of crazy. She started talking to me about my songs and she was going in depth on the lyrics," he told host Ellie Lee about his Swift encounter.

We knew Taylor was a music buff, but we didn't know how up on her emerging artists she was. Find out more in the clip.
