Taylor Swift\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> parents, Scott Swift<\/strong> and Andrea Swift<\/strong>, have been her biggest support system since the early days of her career. The pop star has a close relationship with her mom and dad, who were in the crowd at most shows of her Eras tour in 2023.<\/p>\n The proud parents also accompanied Taylor to her boyfriend Travis Kelce\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> football game on Christmas Day 2023. They all sat in a private suite and cheered on the Kansas City Chiefs star.<\/p>\n So, who are the parents who raised one of the world\u2019s most influential celebrities?<\/p>\n Scott and Andrea tied the knot in February 1998. Taylor, who was born in December 1989, was their first child, followed by a son, Austin, in March 1992. The couple raised their children on a Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania before relocating to Hendersonville, Tennessee to support Taylor\u2019s country music career in 2004.<\/p>\n Even before they relocated permanently, Andrea, who was born in 1958, was often taking trips to Nashville with Taylor so the then-teenager could drop her demos off with record labels. \u201cMy mom waited in the car with my little brother while I knocked on doors up and down Music Row,\u201d the \u201cBlank Space\u201d singer shared in 2008. \u201cI would say, \u2018Hi, I\u2019m Taylor. I\u2019m 11. I want a record deal. Call me.\u201d<\/p>\n While Scott and Andrea are set for life thanks to their daughter\u2019s incredible career, they were both employed before she became a superstar. Andrea worked as a marketing manager for an advertising agency and eventually stopped working to raise her family. Scott was a stockbroker and financial advisor for Merill Lynch.<\/p>\n Andrea and Scott have given their nod of approval for Taylor\u2019s relationship with Travis. Scott was the first to publicly hang out with the NFL star when they both attended the Eras tour in Argentina on November 11, 2023. The guys watched the show together from a VIP tent. When Taylor changed the lyrics<\/a> to her song \u201cKarma\u201d to be about the pro athlete at the show, Scott was seen excitedly clapping a blushing Travis on the shoulder and laughing. One day before the concert, both men also joined Taylor for dinner in Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n Scott then accompanied Taylor to the Chiefs\u2019 game against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium on December 17, 2023. He wore Chiefs gear to the stadium and watched his daughter\u2019s boyfriend take home a win.<\/p>\n On Christmas Day 2023, Scott and Andrea were both in attendance at a Chiefs home game in Kansas City. Andrea waved to fans as she arrived at the stadium via a golf cart with her famous daughter. They also spent time with Travis\u2019 dad, Ed Kelce<\/strong>, in a private box at Arrowhead Stadium.<\/p>\n In 2015, Taylor revealed that Andrea had been diagnosed with cancer. She received the diagnosis after Taylor asked her to get screened for health issues as a Christmas gift.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d like to keep the details of her condition and treatment plans private, but she wanted you to know,\u201d Taylor shared. \u201cShe wanted you to know because your parents may be too busy juggling everything they\u2019ve got going on to go to the doctor, and maybe you reminding them to go get checked for cancer could possibly lead to an early diagnosis and an easier battle \u2026 or peace of mind in knowing that they\u2019re healthy and there\u2019s nothing to worry about.\u201d<\/p>\n Taylor didn\u2019t publicly discuss her mom\u2019s illness again until March 2019 when she wrote a piece for Elle<\/em><\/a> sharing 30 things she learned before turning 30. \u201cBoth of my parents have had cancer, and my mom is now fighting her battle with it again,\u201d she revealed. \u201cIt\u2019s taught me that there are real problems and then there\u2019s everything else. My mom\u2019s cancer is a real problem. I used to be so anxious about the daily ups and downs. I give all my worry, stress and prayers to real problems now.\u201d<\/p>\n She still did not specify the type of cancer that Andrea had been diagnosed with and did not share further information about her dad\u2019s cancer battle.<\/p>\n In January 2020, Taylor had more to share about her mom\u2019s health. \u201cWhile she was going through treatment, they found a brain tumor,\u201d she told Variety<\/em><\/a>. \u201cAnd the symptoms of what a person goes through when they have a brain tumor is nothing like what we\u2019ve ever been through with her cancer before. So it\u2019s just been a really hard time for us as a family.\u201d<\/p>\n She also added, \u201cEveryone loves their mom; everyone\u2019s got an important mom. But for me, she really is the guiding force. Almost every decision I make, I talk to her about it first. So obviously, it was a really big deal to ever speak about her illness.\u201d<\/p>\n Since Andrea and Scott are such an important part of Taylor\u2019s life, it\u2019s no surprise that they\u2019ve gotten some mentions in her songs.<\/p>\n Taylor actually penned two full tracks about Andrea. In 2008, she released \u201cThe Best Day\u201d on her album Fearless<\/em>. In the lyrics, she recalls special times that she shared with her mom as a child and teenager. When she rereleased Fearless<\/em> in 2021, she included several never-before-seen photos<\/a> with Andrea in the lyric video. Scott also gets a shoutout on the track when Taylor sings, \u201cI have an excellent father, his strength is making me stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n The other Andrea-inspired song is \u201cSoon You\u2019ll Get Better,\u201d which was featured on 2019\u2019s Lover.<\/em> Taylor wrote the song about her mom\u2019s cancer battle. The tear-jerking song features lyrics like, \u201cI hate to make this all about me, but who am I supposed to talk to? What am I supposed to do, if there\u2019s no you?\u201d<\/p>\n In a 2019 interview, she admitted, \u201cI don\u2019t think I have written a song quite like that before. It\u2019s just a tough one.\u201d<\/p>\n Taylor also mentions her mom on \u201cThis Is Why We Can\u2019t Have Nice Things,\u201d a song from 2017\u2019s Reputation<\/em>. \u201cHere\u2019s to my mama, she had to listen to all this drama,\u201d she croons in the bridge, referring to her feud with Kim Kardashian<\/strong><\/a> and Kanye West<\/strong><\/a>. In 2023, Taylor dropped 1989 (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em><\/a>, which featured five songs \u201cFrom the Vault\u201d that had never been heard before. One of those was \u201cNow That We Don\u2019t Talk,\u201d which had the lyrics, \u201cI call my mom she said that it was for the best\u201d and \u201cI call my mom she said to get it off my chest.\u201d<\/p>\n The pop star also hinted at the importance of her mom\u2019s opinion on the song \u201cDear John\u201d when she sings, \u201cMy mother accused me of losing my mind but I swore I was fine.\u201d \u201cDear John\u201d is from the 2010 album Speak Now<\/em>, which also includes the track \u201cNever Grow Up.\u201d Taylor wrote that song about moving out from her parents house.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Scott got a mention on Speak Now\u2019s<\/em> Joe Jonas<\/strong><\/a>-inspired track, \u201cLast Kiss.\u201d Taylor sings, \u201cI love your handshake, meeting my father.\u201d There was a much different sentiment on the 10 minute version of \u201cAll Too Well<\/a>,\u201d though, as she recalled being stood up by a boyfriend on her 21st birthday. \u201cYou who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes, sipping coffee like you were on a late night show, but then he watched me watch the front door all night, willing you to come, and he said, \u2018It\u2019s supposed to be fun, turning 21,\u2019\u201d she shares.<\/p>\nWhen Did Taylor Swift\u2019s Parents Get Married?<\/h2>\n
