About choosing the musician as the godmother to his nine-year-old son, Leo Thames, King explained to People that it had nothing to do with Swift’s star status and everything to do with her morals and values as a person, how she treats people, and how hard-working she is. “That's the kind of person I want to be the guide and the spiritual protector of my child,” she said.
