Taylor Swift has got a ton of musical mileage out of the romantic relationships that have come and gone in her life, but those guys haven’t been the truly essential players in her journey to the top of the pop star pyramid.
It’s Scott and Andrea Swift, Taylor’s parents, who have championed their daughter since day one, believing in her so much that they left their palatial house in Reading, Penn., for Nashville, where a determined 14-year-old Taylor felt she had to be to make her dream a reality.
Talking to CMT, she said her parents weren’t just indulging her for the sake of being supportive. “My parents actually believed it,” she said.
Before her Reputation Tour touched down in Philadelphia, she took a few friends to visit her childhood home, a Christmas tree farm in Wyomissing, where the new owners were apparently happy to let the famous former resident in to take a look at her old room.

If you’re unfamiliar, the heart hands symbol has long been associated with Swift, who has used the gesture since high school.“The heart-hand symbol means something between ‘I love you’ and ‘thank you,’” she explained to the New York Times all the way back in 2011. “It’s just a sweet, simple message that you can deliver without saying a word.”One day, very early in her career, she was playing at a festival when she had the impulse to hold her hands above her head and send a heart to the crowd, who began cheering and returning the symbol.“When the moment is just right and the crowd is screaming louder than any sound I ever imagined I’d hear, I just want to tell them I love them over and over, but sometimes the simplest thing to do is to make a sign with your hands,” she added.Swift’s The Lorax costar Zac Efron got in on the fun from home, sending the heart hands right back at the screen in a photo originally uploaded to his Instagram Stories. “Playoffs baby
