How Big Is The Age Gap Between Taylor Swift's Divorced Parents?

Taylor Swift’s parents molded her into becoming a superstar. As Swift has recounted numerous times, her parents moved their family from Pennsylvania to Tennessee in the hopes that she’d become successful. In 2018, Swift shared with fans who attended the Philadelphia date of her Reputation Tour that she’d recently returned. “I went to the house I grew up in,” said Swift during the concert (via E! News). “I got emotional when I went into my bedroom, and there’s another little girl’s things in there.” She continued, “It’s not my family farm anymore. We sold it when we went to Nashville. I’ve been thinking about how cool it is to be back where I started writing songs,” she continued. 

Unfortunately, Andrea and Scott Swift reportedly split in 2011, just a few years after Swift’s career had started taking off. While there have never been any official reports about their divorce, there’s been chatter that Andrea and Scott Swift decided to end their marriage. According to a print article from Star Magazine, Andrea and Scott separated in 2011, a move that was difficult for Taylor. “She’s been going through a lot,” revealed a friend of the family (via Radar Online). “The new album will showcase the pain of her parents’ separation.” They continued, “The Swifts stopped wearing their wedding rings. They haven’t filed for divorce because they don’t want it to damage Taylor’s career.”
