Proud ‘Swiftie dads’ who love Taylor Swift as much as their daughters do reveal the extreme lengths they went to see the Eras tour
While teenage girls may be the typical demographic for Swifties, it doesn’t mean people of all ages can’t be fans of Taylor Swift.
In fact, these teenagers’ dads are now getting in on the fun as they proudly declare themselves as fans of the You Belong With Me singer.
A handful of Swiftie dads spoke with GQ about why they’re at the Eras tour and how they got into the singer’s music.
Some dads had heartwarming reasons for diving head first into the hype – with one even flying 10,000 miles from India to make sure his daughter could get the full Swiftie experience in Philadelphia.
Others even traveled long distances to soak up the vibes outside the arenas that Taylor was playing – with no guarantee of getting inside.

Kevin, a 54-year-old father from Baltimore, Maryland, explained that it brought him and his daughter closer together as she got older.
‘My daughter was a teenager, and as teenage daughters do, we started drifting apart,’ he shared with the outlet.
‘When 1989 came out, it was common ground for us to come together. It really brought us together and made us closer, and it’s been great ever since.’
58-year-old Robert, from Hampton, Virginia, said that he had been a fan ever since his 17-year-old daughter, Hannah-Lynn, became a Swiftie.
‘I was a firefighter for 18 years. Developed lymphoma cancer in 2016,’ he revealed while explaining why he was accompanying his daughter on the Eras tour.
‘Went through nine rounds of chemo, stem cell transplant, lost the left lung, went into septic shock. I almost died in the ER, so I dedicated my life to my kids.’
Others have been closeted Taylor Swift fans themselves before their kids were even born.
When asked how long he has been a Swiftie, 56-year-old Daren, from Baltimore, admitted: ‘I’ve probably been undercover for a couple of years now, I just couldn’t tell them, you know? Probably since she came on the scene, since when I first saw her on MTV.’
