Hayden Panettiere: 'Nashville' Character Isn't Taylor Swift

Hayden Panettiere wears a fashionable Bec & Bridge ‘Bianca Adventurer’ fedora at the Nashville panel during the 2012 Summer TCA Tour on Friday morning (July 27) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

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.
