Taylor Swift Recalls Yelling ‘But Daddy I Love Him’ During ‘Tantrum’
Many Taylor Swift fans believe that her song “But Daddy I Love Him” is inspired from The Little Mermaid — but the actual story is seemingly much more personal.
In a 2008 resurfaced interview with Popsugar, Swift, now 34, opened up about being at odds with her father, Scott, when she was dating someone her parents didn’t approve of.
While recalling a particularly bad argument, she shared that she screamed the words, “But daddy I love him,” before running off to write “Love Story,” a hit song off her second studio album, Fearless.
This song, I wrote it right after my one epic teenage tantrum that I ever threw in my whole life,” Swift explained to the outlet in the resurfaced clip. “And I remember screaming something, like, ‘But daddy, I love him!’ And running out and storming into my room and slamming the door and then I sat down on the floor and wrote this song.”
