Leona Lewis recalled meeting Taylor Swift for the first time.

As Taylor wraps up her Eras Tour, the X Factor star gushes over the 14-times Grammy winner.

Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Leona, who attended the final Eras Tour shows in Vancouver, penned a heartfelt note for Taylor.

The singer-actress recalled, “Years ago at the beginning of my career I was asked to perform at an awards show in America. After my performance some of the artists gathered outside and everyone seemed to know eachother and have their own cliques.”

She went on to say, “I remember feeling very awkward and I just sat on the pavement feeling lonely and just wanting to go home. I remember Taylor spotted me and rushed over. We chatted about music and she was so kind and welcoming.”

“Her words meant so much to me at a time when I felt like a bit of an outsider. She truly lifted my spirit. Years later Taylor invited me to perform at a very special show with her. She is still the kindest most warm soul and I’m so blessed I got to watch and support her in all of her glory last night.,” Leona added.

Concluding her post, she said, “In a time when there is so much to be sad about, the audience got to experience pure joy together and that is truly a gift. Love you @taylorswift .”
