Something that most Taylor Swift fans probably don't know is that the singer-songwriter had a nice friendship with the late Kris Kristofferson, who recently passed away at age 88.

Kris Kristofferson, an Oxford-educated Rhodes Scholar and Army veteran who wrote hit songs for Janis Joplin and Johnny Cash before starring in Hollywood movies, died Saturday at his home in Maui, a family spokesperson said Sunday evening. He was 88 and no cause of death was offered.

Legendary country singer/songwriter Kris Kristofferson, who wrote classic songs like "Me and Bobby McGee" and "Sunday Morning Comin' Down," has died.
