'Nashville' TV Show Character Not Based on Taylor Swift

Hayden Panettiere plays a 20-something country music phenomenon on the upcoming ABC drama, "Nashville." Though she expected the comparisons, she insists her character is absolutely not based on Taylor Swift.

"I've heard the Taylor Swift thing quite a bit and besides being around the same age and blond -- not even the height -- they are different," the actress said at the "Nashville" show panel during the Television Critics Association Press Tour. "When 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!"

The former "Heroes" star plays Juliette Barnes, a pop country diva with a penchant for skimpy dresses. She immediately clashes with with veteran country star Rayna James, played by Connie Britton.

"We have a real opportunity to show the complexities of these two people in show business, and particularly women," says the former "Friday Night Lights" star. "I feel a really strong responsibility to do that in a way that's true and dignified."

"Nashville" premieres on October 10. Hayden hints at major drama that will also unfold between Juliette and Jonathan Jackson's character, Avery Barkley. "If you have a broken heart, you're sad and you need a rebound, Juliette is prowling somewhere around the corner," laughs the actress.

When I aw the commercials I thought of the faces Faith Hill used to make at the awards shows when Carrie Underwood won. BUT, Carrie Underwood is a major talent. Taylor who?

If you had to come out with an article saying that it's not about Taylor Swift, then it is about Taylor Swift.

Lets see a 22 yr old girl with curly blond hair, who can't sing but has become a pop cross over sensation, that makes real musicians wonder how she ever became famous when she isn't good enough to be their back up singer. Sure this isn't based off of taylor swift at all. I love their response that Hayden isn't tall enough so clearly the character isn't based on swift. Sure thats convincing.
