September 15, 2008 (Sawf News) - Justin Gaston, a model and aspiring country singer, who attended church with Miley Cyrus and her family in LA on Sunday, September 14, "had a 'crush' on Taylor Swift for quite a while," says Gaston's rep, Allen Osborne.
Gaston, 20, who stars as Taylor Swift's love interest in her new video for the single Love Story met both Miley, 15, and Taylor, 18, while appearing as a contestant on Nashville Star hosted by Miley's father Billy Ray earlier this year.
A native of Pinesville, La, Gaston was eliminated in week three of the contest.
"He's visiting L.A. for the week," says Osborne.
A source close to Miley told People, "They've been spending a lot of time together while he's in town."
Following the morning visit to church, Gaston attended Disney's concert for Hope where Miley performed with the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato.
Gaston has modeled for Kenneth Cole and Guess.
