Taylor Swift is the very best in terms of enjoying the lengthy sport. For the most recent proof simply look to one of many fan favorites from her newest album, The Tortured Poets Division‘s “However Daddy I Love Him.”
Initially it was assumed that the title was a winking nod to a phrase uttered by Ariel within the 1989 Disney animated traditional The Little Mermaid, during which the smitten mermaid gave up her voice to be with Prince Eric. However, because it seems, the movie — which was launched in the identical yr Swift, now 34, was born — was not the inspiration for the track in any case.
In a resurfaced Popsugar clip from 2008, Swift described an argument together with her father Scott that got here after the then-19-year-old singer was apparently courting a person her dad and mom didn’t take care of. “This track, I wrote it proper after my one epic teenage tantrum that I ever threw in my complete life,” Swift mentioned within the clip. “And I keep in mind screaming one thing, like, ‘However daddy, I really like him!’ And operating out and storming into my room and slamming the door after which I sat down on the ground and wrote this track.”
The track she was referencing was “Love Story” from her second studio LP, 2008’s Fearless. On her present European leg of the Eras Tour, “However Daddy” is among the many new songs Swift has added to the revamped setlist.
