How Taylor Swift’s protective banker father Scott has become his daughter’s biggest fan as she drops The Tortured Poets Department

shared a clip of the devoted father filming his daughter perform, in awe. Commenters couldn’t contain their delight at the sweet display of parental affection, saying he ‘must be beyond proud’.

In her Netflix documentary, Miss Americana, the father and daughter shared an emotional exchange as the singer told her family about plans to speak out against Republican Marsha Blackburn.

‘I can’t see another commercial [with] her disguising these policies behind the words ‘Tennessee Christian values’,’ Taylor said.

‘I live in Tennessee. I am Christian. That’s not what we stand for.’

As her father tried to push back, Taylor insisted that she wished she had voiced her political views earlier and come out against Donald Trumpshe said: ‘This was a situation where, from a humanity perspective, and from what my moral compass was telling me I needed to do, I knew I was right, and I really didn’t care about repercussions.

‘My dad is terrified of threats against my safety and my life, and he has to see how many stalkers we deal with on a daily basis, and know that this is his kid. It’s where he comes from.’

Her father is also cited as a protective figure in many of Taylor’s lyrics.

In The Best Day, she sings: ‘I have an excellent father, his strength is making me stronger.’
