When Bridgit Mendler’s music video for “How to Believe” debuted, there were so many comparisons to Taylor Swift!

JustJaredJr.com caught up with the 17-year-old actress to chat about the video a bit and found out just how much fun she had filming it. “That was my first music video ever. It was great to work with all the kids and it was such a cool concept. I was there to encourage the kids to embrace their talents and then to perform on stage. Even performing with my own guitar was awesome, ” Bridgit shared.

Bridgit also shared exclusively with us about the Taylor comparisons, “It was so unintentional (laughs). It wasn’t like, ‘Taylor plays guitar, lets play my guitar; she has wavy hair, let’s make mine wavy too’ kind of thing. It’s such a compliment to even be compared to her because she’s been such a success and of course, she’s gorgeous. But she’s not who I’m trying to be musically. I’m still finding my own thing to do in music.”

By the way, would anyone be able to contribute screencaps of the episodes of Good Luck Charlie?

After guest spots on Disney Channel shows like JONAS and Wizards of Waverly Place, the 17-year-old actress has finally landed her own show, Good Luck Charlie. Bridgit plays Teddy Duncan, and she’s definitely bringing a bit of herself to the role.

I am,” she said. “I feel like I get some me out of Teddy when I’m having a nerdy moment especially because I’m kind of a nerd myself.”

When her parents have a new baby, Teddy and her brother, played by Jason Dolley, decide to make a video diary for the baby (nicknamed Charlie) for her to watch when she’s older. So what’s it like shooting her own Disney com? In a word, “fun.”

“We have dress up days, usually on Tuesdays,” she said. “One day we wore capes – we had ‘Cape day.’ That was fun, we ran down the halls in our capes.”

Check out our full interview with Bridgit below to hear her talk about her celebrity crushes, her BFF and who she’d like to work with in the future.
