Taylor Momsen, best known for her role on Gossip Girl, recently shared an interesting story about her encounter with Supernatural star Jared Padalecki on the red carpet. During an interview on SiriusXM's Podcrushed with her former castmate Penn Badgley, Momsen revealed that Padalecki was her "first childhood crush." Momsen excitedly approached Padalecki on the red carpet, hoping to make a connection.

She admitted that she had never been so starstruck in her life. "I went up and I was like, 'He's gonna fall in love with me, like I'm in love with him. How can he not fall in love with me?'" Momsen shared.

She reminisced about how tall Padalecki was and how she had to look up to talk to him. Despite her best efforts, Momsen's affection was not reciprocated. "He was nice, but he didn't love me back," she confessed.

This encounter became her first experience of love and heartbreak all rolled into one. From that moment on, Momsen made a decision to always wear heels. After Gossip Girl ended, Momsen decided to focus on her music career as the lead singer of the band The Pretty Reckless.

Interestingly, this led to another encounter with Padalecki.

The band's song "Make Me Wanna Die" was featured on Supernatural. Momsen hoped that this connection would change their dynamic. "Well, maybe he'll love me now," she thought.
