“Taylor Swift celebrated her dad, calling him the best dad ever. She expressed her happiness for having such a supportive parent.”

She’s also the daughter of two loving parents who have played a major — albeit under-acknowledged — part in her becoming this generation’s biggest superstar.

As Taylor reaches her 100th Eras Tour show, following record-breaking concerts locally in both Sydney and Melbourne, we can’t help but look back at the people who raised her.

Taylor’s father Scott and mum Andrea attend most of the ‘Blank Space’ singer’s concerts and they each have designated roles to make the singer’s biggest fans’ wishes come true.

So who are Taylor Swift’s parents and what exactly do they do on the ErasMarketing manager Andrea and stockbroker Scott married in 1988 before welcoming Taylor in (you guessed it) 1989 and her brother Austin in 1992. The family was initially based in Wyomissing in Pennsylvania, living on a Christmas tree farm, which Swifties will know inspired Taylor’s song called (you guessed it) ‘Christmas Tree Farm’.

Even in her early years, Taylor’s passion for music was clear. “She was always singing music when she was 3, 5, 6, 7 years old,” her dad told UDaily. “It’s Taylor doing what she likes to do.”

Taylor would perform at local gigs near her hometown of Wyomissing until her parents decided to pursue her dreams by moving to Nashville when she was 14 years old. But instead of moving to the heart of the city, they relocated to a home in Hendersonville, a suburb on the outskirts of Nashville, to relieve some of the pressure on Taylor.

”

I never wanted to make that move about her ‘making it’,” Andrea told Entertainment Weekly. “Because what a horrible thing if it hadn’t happened, for her to carry that kind of guilt or pressure around… We’ve always told her that this is not about putting food on our table or making our dreams come true.”
