Taylor Swift’s success is one of the few things that makes many wonder about the roots of its source over the years of her record-breaking career. However, to get to the crux of it all, ditch the statisticians, scientists, and tabloid predictions because the biggest stem of her upward climb in the industry comes from two pillars who never leave her side: her parents, Scott, and Andrea Swift. While her tours have often seen the two show up like proud parents on a mission to capture every moment of the influence she sways the world with, not many know about her parent's relationship and the present state of it.

For those in the dark, here is a lowdown on whether Swift’s parents are still together or have split.

Scott and Andrea Swift are probably the proudest parents in the world, who never miss the chance to pop up at Taylor Swift’s tours, making the most of the opportunity to interact with fans and cheer on their daughter from the sidelines. However, perhaps their synergy for their daughter left many in the dark that the two divorced more than a decade ago. Scott and Andrea Swift reportedly married in 1989 and got maritally separated in 2011.

In a 2008 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Swift revealed her parents were committed to helping her build the stardom she commands today from an early age, with her mother waiting in the car while she knocked on doors for the music world to take notice of her. However, when she was offered the Sony/ATV Tree Publishing House deal and consequently, her career took off, and the distance between her parents grew as her mother accompanied Swift on tours while her father stayed back with her brother at home.

Although Swift never addressed her parents’ separation in any interviews or songs, an insider did report on it after things were official.

After Andrea and Scott Swift called it off formally in 2011, an anonymous family friend divulged to Radar Online in 2012 that Taylor Swift’s parents actually separated a few years before the official divorce. Swifts reportedly kept the news out of the reach of the limelight until the details about the billionaire’s parents began emerging years later. However, none of it came directly from Swift.

Despite that, many eagle-eyed fans believe the separation visibly impacted Swift’s music catalog. While Swift’s songs indeed are a treasure trove of Easter eggs that fans love to decode without a tinge of tiredness, these were not the best ones they had their hands on. However, despite their separation, the thing that never changed is their support for Swift and every venue, the pop star struts her stuff to hold first-hand witness to that.
