Hayden Panettiere is beaming as she arrives at the 2012 Emmy Awards held at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on Sunday (September 23) in Los Angeles.
The 23-year-old actress was a presenter along with Nashville costar Connie Britton.
Hayden‘s Nashville character has been constantly compared to Taylor Swift, but Taylor knows that it’s not based off of her.
“Hayden is my neighbor, actually,” Taylor told Zap2it. “She pulled me aside and said, ‘I need to talk to you! I need to tell you that my character’s not based on you.’ And I said, ‘I know, Hayden. I saw the pilot. It’s amazing.’ I think she did an incredible job of being sinister and adorable at the same time, and we had a hilarious conversation about it.’”
FYI: Hayden wore a Marchesa gown with Harry Winston jewels, Giuseppe Zanotti heels and a Judith Leiber bag to the event.
The 23-year-old Nashville starlet chatted with the glossy about what makes her feel beautiful, and not using anyone else’s voice on her new series. Check it:
On singing for herself on Nashville: “I always said if I was ever going to do music again, I’d do country. There’s honesty and truth in it.”
On counting her blessings: “I find out that when I’m overly concerned about what I eat, I stress out my body and put on weight.”
Hayden tweeted, “Had a blast shooting my Women’s Health cover! On stands September 11th!”
The new show, premiering Wednesday, October 10th @10PM ET/PT, follows Rayna James (Britton), a legendary country music superstar, whose star begins fading. Her producers offer her a joint tour with the up-and-comer Juliette Barnes (Panettiere), the young and sexy future of country music. But both singers are pursuing their goals.
Juliette wants to take the place of Rayna while Rayna thinks that a few songs written by talented author Scarlett O’Connor (Clare Bowen) will help to revive her success.

Hayden spoke up during the panel about her character’s disrespectful nature.

The 22-year-old actress chatted about the comparisons between her character Juliette and reigning country princess Taylor Swift at the panel.
“I’ve heard the Taylor Swift thing quite a bit and I think besides being around the same age and blond — not even the height — they are different” Hayden shared.
Hayden added, “I when think you guys see her and get to know Juliette a little better, you’ll see. But I really think Taylor would disagree wholeheartedly as well. She’s much nicer than my character.”
FYI: Hayden is wearing an alice+olivia dress with a J Brand jacket, Louboutin booties and Sethi Couture earrings.
