A star struck Taylor Swift accepted a People's Choice Award from Elton John Wednesday night, only to be treated like the star she is by Johnny Depp.
The "Speak Now" singer presented the Favorite Movie Actor award to the 47-year-old "Pirates of the Caribbean" star, who emerged from backstage to the crowd's screams and a standing ovation.
After a brief tête-à-tête with Depp, the 21-year-old songstress retreated to the left of the stage.
"Taylor Swift, by the way," Depp said upon approaching the mike. "My daughters said if I didn't say hi to you I'd be in big trouble, so."
Swift waved and issued a "hello" to 11-year-old Lily-Rose Depp, before dad went on to thank his fans.
Prior to the Depp-Swift love in, the country star behaved with Sir Elton John about as star struck as Depp's daughter would have acted in her presence.
