Jennifer Aniston recently bumped into Taylor Swift and have a few encouraging words for the singer – “hang in there.” Taylor Swift‘s done a lot of boy bouncing in the past year, which is pretty par for the course for a single gal, but somehow Jennifer Aniston sees them as kindred spirits of sorts.

For starters, both dated trouser snake John Mayer and both were very publicly dumped in the past few years. Aniston from Brad Pitt and Swift from Joe Jonas.

“An insider at Wednesday’s People’s Choice Awards tells us the notoriously unlucky-in-love Aniston, 41, approached Swift, 21, inside the Nokia Theatre to tell her to “hang in there” in the face of relentless press about her love life. We hear the two had not previously met, but Aniston “wanted Taylor to know everything will be okay.”

According to our source, Jen told Taylor to “go out there and have fun.”

Aw. How sweet? Honestly, it seems a little condescending, but hey, let’s hope Swifty took it in stride.
