Us Weekly reporter Jen Peros was on hand for the cute moment, and asked what kind of date he would treat the “Red” singer to if he ever got the chance. “We’d go to the Hickory House in Aspen and get some barbecue ribs and maybe go hot tubbing at the Ritz Carlton,” the Colorado native said. “And then she can come over and we can see what happens after that.”

“I would like to thank you Taylor Swift for telling me good luck,” the 18-year-old continued. “…she’s one of the most beautiful people to walk on this planet.” (Yater-Wallace previously won the silver medal at the 2013 Winter X Games XV for the SuperPipe, making him the youngest medalist in the Games’ history. On Feb. 18, he fell during both of his runs at the men’s ski halfpipe event in Sochi.)
