Liz Huett

Elizabeth "Liz" Huett (born May 27, 1987) is a musician and actress, most known for being Taylor Swift's former background singer.

Early life
As a baby, Huett was in foster care and then, adopted by her parents. She grew up in Riverside, California, where she developed a passion for acting. Huett participated in theatre at her school. She acted in commercials for various companies, and on the Nickelodeon show, The Brothers Garcia. In high school, she decided against continuing an acting career, and became interested in music. A year after graduating, Huett moved to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue her music career.

Vocals for Taylor Swift
Huett originally met Swift in a meet and greet line as a fan. In 2006, at the Brandin’ Iron in San Bernardino, Swift advised Huett to move to Nashville to build her music career. Huett toured with Swift for three and a half years during Swift's Speak Now and Fearless years. She was considered by Swift to be a best friend during that time, and shared a dressing room with her. Huett joined Swift and her band on stage in 2009 when she won Entertainer of the Year at the CMA Awards.

Solo career
In 2015, Huett signed to Interscope Records, and recorded a solo EP, but abandoned the project after feeling her music was not quite right or ready to be released. In 2017, Huett released her first single, "STFU & Hold Me", which Billboard wrote, "combined a love for radio-friendly pop with country vibes from her time cutting her teeth in Nashville." In 2019, she released the track, "That's What You Get", and Earmilk wrote, " Huett has a soft, warm feeling to her voice, so that even when she’s at her most vulnerable, it feels so comforting."
