Who Is Taylor Swift’s Dad?

Scott Kingsley Swift was born in Pennsylvania, United States, on March 5, 1952. Although the identity of his parents is unknown, Scott grew up alongside his brothers, Archie III and Douglas. Despite being a celebrity parent, most details about Taylor Swift’s dad are unknown. Hence there is no information regarding his elementary education and high school education.

However, following his graduation from high school, he enrolled at the University of Delaware. Although his course of study is unknown, he graduated in 1974. Afterward, he became a stockbroker and started the Swift Group, part of Merill Lynch, where he had worked for over twenty years.

When Did Scott Kingsley Swift Get Married?

While there are no details regarding where and when Taylor Swift’s parents met, the pair tied the knot on February 20, 1988. Scott’s ex-wife, Andrea, was a marketing manager at an advertising agency, while Scott was a stockbroker for Merrill Lynch at the time of their marriage.

Scott and Andrea Swift have always appeared as a unified pair for their daughter, Taylor Swift. Unfortunately, both dedicated so much time to Taylor’s career that it affected their marriage. Shortly after moving to Nashville to get the “Shake It Off” star more notice, her career took off.

Andrea began accompanying her daughter on the road while Scott stayed home with Austin. This separation caused irreparable damage to the couple’s relationship. Consequently, after over two decades of marriage, online reports suggest Andrea and Scott are separated.

Although there are no details regarding their divorce, eagle-eyed fans couldn’t help but notice the superstar’s parents have stopped wearing their wedding rings. Taylor Swift has not directly addressed her parents’ separation.

But she has alluded to it in her music. In her record, “Mine” from the “Speak Now” album, the songwriter sang about a woman who is slightly cautious of love due to her parent’s marriage falling apart.

Scott Kingsley Swift Children 

Although it is unclear where Scott and Andrea stand as a couple, they have two kids together. Scott and Andrea welcomed their first child and daughter, Taylor Swift, on December 13, 1989. 

Two years after the birth of their first child, the couple welcomed their second child and son, Austin Swift. Their son arrived on March 11, 1992, making Taylor a big sister.

Scott’s first child, Taylor, is one of the most successful female artists in the world. The talented singer has 12 Grammy Awards, 29 Billboard Music Awards, 40 American Music Awards, and one Emmy Award, amongst others, to her name, making her one of the most awarded female singers in the world.

In addition, she is one of the most streamed female artists on Spotify and other digital streaming platforms. While Taylor is the most famous of the Swift siblings, her brother, Austin Kingsley Swift, is also a known face in Hollywood. Scott’s second child and son is an actor and businessman.

He is famous for his appearance in several films and TV shows, including “Live by Night” and “I.T.” in 2016. Aside from acting, he is renowned for producing and appearing in some of his sister’s music videos.

Scott Kingsley Swift Cancer Battle

Sadly, serious health scares have hit close to home for Taylor Swift’s dad. He has been diagnosed with cancer in the past. While Scott has been private about his bout with the illness, his daughter made it public when she confirmed it in her 30th birthday lessons article with Elle. 

Unlike Scott, Andrea, on the other hand, has been much more vocal about her cancer journey. In 2015, Taylor announced Andrea had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Although the celebrity mom went into remission, the cancer came back in 2019.

In another devastating blow, Andrea was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2020. Since the diagnosis, Andrea has not spent much time in the spotlight.

What Is Scott Kingsley Swift’s Net Worth?

Due to the celebrity dad’s cagey lifestyle, his net worth is unknown. However, his daughter has a net worth of about $400,000,000, which she amassed by writing and recording music professionally. Hence, Scott Kingsley Swift lives a life of luxury with his famous children. 

Like Craig Hemsworth, the famed father of the Hemsworth brothers, Scott Kingsley Swift supports his children’s success and fame.
