Many have paid tribute to the late singer. Bono took to U2's Instagram to post an A cappella cover of his song “Help Me Make It Through the Night.” “Kris, may you rest in the peace you offered so many,” the caption read.

Something that most Taylor Swift fans probably don't know is that the singer-songwriter had a nice friendship with the late Kris Kristofferson, who recently passed away at age 88. Swift, 34, and Kristofferson first met in 2009 during the Country Music Awards when he presented the "Cruel Summer" singer with one of the four awards she won that year.

Barbra Streisand, who starred with Kristofferson in the 1976 remake of “A Star Is Born,” paid tribute to him on Instagram.

Kris Kristofferson wrote some of the best songs in country music history. Here are five songs made famous by other artists.

Kris Kristofferson claims four top 40 albums on iTunes and several hit songs as fans show their love for the country music legend, who passed away a few days ago.
