The 'In My Blood' hitmaker admits he used to get terrified every time he stepped up onto the stage but thanks to the kind words of the 'Shake It Off' singer, he learned that he didn't have to worry about making every performance perfect and instead just focus on having fun.
He said: "She said to me one day, 'Are you nervous?' and, I got nervous just because she's Taylor Swift. My face would get red every time! I said, 'Yes, I just don't want to mess up.' She goes, 'Everybody in the audience is there to have fun and support you. Nobody is there to judge. It's not a TV show where they're judging you.'
From that moment, I really learned what it means to be a performer and it wasn't about being perfect - it was about enjoying it. Because you watch someone on stage and whatever they're doing, if they're really enjoying themselves, so are you.
She went onstage every night to have fun, to enjoy and to be in happiness because that's what the live show is about. It wasn't about being perfect. She's perfect anyway, but that was the biggest thing I learned from her."
