Fourteen-time Grammy award winner, American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift's parents supported her dreams from the start. Even before she became a Grammy-winning star and top-paid female entertainer, they were there, cheering her on at karaoke sessions and driving her to gigs in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania.

"Taylor was always singing, even at a young age," said her dad, Scott Swift, to UDaily, the newspaper of his alma mater, the University of Delaware. "It's Taylor doing what she enjoys."

Scott and Andrea Swift have supported their daughter since day one, fostering her talent and passion while shielding her from fame's pressures. Andrea once mentioned to Entertainment Weekly in 2008 that they ensured Taylor always had the option of a normal life, but for Taylor, music was as essential as breathing.

Andrea, previously a marketing manager at an advertising agency, wed Scott, who transitioned from a stockbroker to vice president at Merrill Lynch, on February 20, 1988, in Harris County, Texas. Taylor was born on December 13, 1989, and became a big sister to Austin, born on March 11, 1992, just over two years later.

The siblings spent their childhood on a 15-acre Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania before relocating to Nashville's suburbs when the singer of You Belong With Me signed her first major record deal with Sony at 14.

In 2010, Taylor soared to the Grammys, clinching four awards and becoming the youngest artist to win Album of the Year for Fearless. In her acceptance speech, she passionately thanked her parents, dedicating the honor to her dad for always believing in her. "This is for all those times you said I could pursue my dreams," she expressed. "And to my mom, you're my closest confidante."

In her album Lover, Taylor candidly addresses the emotional turmoil of her mom's cancer diagnosis in Soon You'll Get Better, expressing her struggle and vulnerability. During a YouTube Live session, Taylor shared that it was a family decision to include the song on the album. "It's something I'm proud of, but it's emotionally challenging," she revealed.

Two hours after Taylor released her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, on April 19, she surprised fans with an additional 15 songs in an extension titled The Anthology.

One track, thanK you aIMee, caught attention for its possible reference to Taylor's feud with Kim Kardashian. This was indicated not only by the lyrics but also by the capital letters in the song title: K, I, and M.
