Insiders reveal intimate details about who REALLY has Taylor Swift’s back after bitter Blake Lively fallout

BBG News

With Taylor Swift potentially seeing her private conversations with Blake Lively made public in a court case, there’s one determined guardian ready to safeguard her privacy.

This individual faced allegations for physically attacking a ‘provocative’ photographer, as well as flipping him off, during Taylor’s concert tour in Australia.

The father of the singer, Scott Swift, is preparing to challenge a judge’s latest ruling that grants Justin Baldoni access to private messages in his ongoing legal dispute with Lively. This information comes from Daily Mail.

A source from Nashville, who has been acquainted with Taylor and her family for twenty years, stated that this situation may be a setback, but they believe Scott Swift won’t just accept it without a fight.

‘If there’s a loophole or something he can do to fight this he’ll figure it out.’

In the high-profile lawsuit between Lively and Baldoni, a judge in New York refused to grant a protective order over Lively’s correspondence with Taylor Swift on Wednesday, despite her lawyers requesting it to safeguard their communications.

73-year-old financial advisor dad of Swift, frequently depicted as lovable ‘Papa Swift’ in social media posts like the one from Taylor Nation on Father’s Day, also has a stern, protective side that significantly contributes to his daughter’s global success, according to a source.

Scott has been a fixture by his daughter’s side throughout her sold-out Eras tour last year. 

During Taylor’s Eras tour in Australia, particularly in Sydney, December 2024, he faced allegations of physically assaulting a persistent photographer by punching him in the face and making an offensive gesture. However, no legal action was taken against him following these accusations.

According to a source from Nashville, Travis and the person being referred to share similar qualities. They are both outgoing individuals who project a positive image. However, they also have an old-fashioned side and a strong protective instinct. For them, the main goal, which in this case is Taylor, remains their focus.

A fellow country music expert, who has closely watched the family for many years, stated that people endearingly refer to him as ‘Papa Swift’, and he consistently emanates a warm, traditional atmosphere.

However, beneath his friendly demeanor lies a meticulous strategist. On the outside, he appears as a caring father, but inside, he operates with the precision of a financial mastermind from Wall Street.

‘Taylor’s voice and songwriting got her noticed, but Scott’s instincts really got her the empire.

He possesses a certain allure reminiscent of a golf course, the type of man who recalls your children’s names, yet make no mistake – Scott Swift is not easily deceived.

‘He was reading contracts and sizing up people way before Taylor was a household name.’

In a conversation with Baldoni, Lively playfully called Taylor Swift one of her “dragon helpers” during a time when it was said that she was attempting to persuade him to support certain concepts for the 2024 film “It Ends With Us,” in an effort to make him comply with her ideas.

According to recent court rulings by Judge Lewis J. Liman, Baldoni’s team can now gain access to Lively’s conversations regarding the movie with Swift, but they must not issue a subpoena directly to Swift herself.

Previously, The Daily Mail disclosed an exclusive piece revealing that Scott Swift allegedly entered into a clandestine agreement with attorney Bryan Freedman, who represents Baldoni, in exchange for confidential information. This arrangement was said to have been made in order for Freedman to retract his subpoena requiring Swift’s testimony in the ongoing case.

In the chilly days of December, I found myself embroiled in an unexpected predicament. Myself, a woman of 37, brought forth allegations against my It Ends with Us co-star and director, Baldoni, claiming instances of sexual harassment and masterminding a defamatory campaign aimed at me.

41-year-old Baldoni responded to claims made against him in January by filing a $400 million counterclaim, charging Lively (also 41) and her husband Reynolds (48) with defamation. However, all parties involved have refuted these allegations.

According to the source, Scott Swift chose to disclose the information willingly, as part of an agreement that involved Baldoni’s team retracting their subpoena for Taylor, in order to prevent his daughter from getting deeper into this situation.

Scott Swift’s latest action aligns with the firm control he has maintained in guiding Taylor’s career since her early days performing at local events and karaoke venues in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. Insiders suggest that he is likely to take any necessary steps to continue shielding his daughter from the legal complications involving Lively-Baldoni.

Similar to Kelce, Scott Swift too was a football player, however, unlike Kelce who advanced to professional football, Swift, standing at 6’3″ and weighing 190 pounds, only played college football. He attended the University of Hawaii and later graduated from the University of Delaware in 1974.

Swift, who had a passion for finance, formed the Swift Group following his employment at Merrill Lynch in 1980, which became his preferred field of play.

Despite the person who responded to calls at the Swift Group appearing somewhat discombobulated upon being asked about Scott, his name and office phone number can still be found on their website.

She mentioned that he wasn’t available at the moment, and then, somewhat puzzlingly, she noted they had no connection with him. After saying this, she ended the call suddenly.

The story behind Taylor Swift begins with accounts of her journey as an 11-year-old, visiting the heart of Nashville’s Music Row, where she bravely knocked on doors, seeking a record deal. Meanwhile, her mother, Andrea, and younger brother, Austin, patiently waited in the car.

At age 13, she secured an artist development contract, and at just 14, she was the youngest individual ever to be signed as a songwriter on Music Row.

However, an email from Scott Swift to Taylor’s first manager, Dan Dymtrow, dated back to 2005 was leaked, which later emerged in 2007 after Dymtrow sued Swift for a substantial amount. This email revealed the significant efforts Scott made for his daughter Taylor at an early stage, yet these efforts seemed to be largely unappreciated by his wife and Taylor herself.

In a twist, Taylor’s theater group, who had always been overlooked for performances at the Reading Phillies’ Municipal Stadium, were finally invited to perform during their Oldies Day celebration, as Scott put it.

‘Who on the board of directors suggested Oldies Day? I did.’

At each board gathering, his 11-year-old’s promotion was so persistent that the original anthem singer didn’t appear. They then turned to Taylor and asked, “Would you sing the national anthem instead?” And I did.

The action resulted in the Harlem Wizards playing their national anthem, as the individual responsible for it was seated among the spectators. I, however, was the one who recorded it on video.

I was the one who created replicas and utilized previous connections to forward it to the 76ers, despite being told it was foolish. That’s me.

I was the one who purchased tickets so that Taylor’s friends could attend when she performed in front of a crowd of 23,000 people to show their support.

As a lifestyle expert, I might rephrase it like this: In my email to Dymtrow, I shared some candid thoughts about my past experiences, specifically regarding my former wife Andrea and our differences in my approach to my daughter Taylor’s career. Andrea often felt that I talked too much about her and promoted her too aggressively. Despite my significant contributions to launching her career, I found myself on the sidelines when it came to enjoying the fun and exciting aspects of it.

In a playful manner, the sender of this email is asking who bears all the costs in their household. They suggest that it’s their father who pays for everything, from the everyday expenses to extraordinary events like filling up 500 beach balls or attending exciting appearances. However, despite shouldering these costs, the father doesn’t get to enjoy these experiences himself. Instead, he is the one who works hard to make such occurrences possible while the rest of the family gets to reap the benefits. The sender concludes by sarcastically referring to themselves as the person responsible for hiring staff and making the decision to move to Nashville, implying that their father is not the one making these choices despite footing the bill.

Scott Swift, who has battled cancer like Taylor’s mother, vividly mentioned in an email about his experience. On January 4th, a robot removed his prostate from his body, leaving him needing to use diapers for seven weeks, and he currently cannot achieve an erection.

Dave Pomeroy, the president of Nashville Musicians Association AFM Local 257, where Taylor Swift has been an active member for 14 years, stated that Taylor Swift benefited greatly from having a wise yet caring father.

Contrary to some infamous figures like Joe Jackson, father of Michael Jackson, or Jamie Spears, the manager of Britney Spears, it appeared that Scott had Taylor’s well-being in mind right from the start, according to Pomeroy.

Pomeroy shared with The Daily Mail that he conducted a demonstration session with Taylor when she was just 13, and he recalled being impressed by her intelligence, an impression also held by her parents.

1) They were genuinely focused, avoiding any pushy or showbiz vibes. From then on, events unfolded, leading to her first recording contract. It’s safe to say that her career is a true family endeavor.

Pomeroy emphasizes that Taylor built her career through self-reliance, while expressing only positive sentiments towards Scott Swift. Notably, in 2011, he made contact with Taylor’s team because the Nashville Symphony wished to present her their annual Harmony award.

To Pomeroy’s astonishment, Scott Swift promptly responded and suggested a meeting with him and the symphony executive group.

Scott expressed gratitude for our intention to honor Taylor with an award, and subsequently mentioned that they intended to make a $100,000 donation to the symphony, while giving credit to our union for this generous contribution.

1. ‘The initiative came entirely from them, not us. This mirrors my past experiences with Taylor’s family – always initiated and consistently positive.’

Or:

2. ‘It wasn’t something we asked for; it was their idea. My interactions with Taylor’s family are usually like this – always proactive and always positive.’

Both options convey the original meaning while sounding more natural and easy to read.

A music industry executive based in Los Angeles, familiar with the Swift family since 2012, expressed doubt that Taylor Swift could have achieved such remarkable fame and success without the support of her parents, particularly her father, Scott.

It appears that the family, particularly Taylor, wishes to give the impression that she achieved everything solely through her own talents. However, it’s impossible for her to be at her current level without Scott’s guidance, acting more like a mentor or architect of her success.

She wouldn’t be as emotionally grounded if not for the affection she receives from both Scott and Andrea, which is quite uncommon in a field where competition can sometimes resemble predation among family members.

‘She’s lucky now to be with a guy who seems to be looking out for her as well.’
