Although the two Taylor’s are not talking much about their rumored relationship AceShowBiz.com says Taylor Swift’s mom Andrea is giving the Twilight hottie the thumbs up.
The unidentified source says:
“Andrea came prepared with a list of rules for dating her daughter: No clubs, no Hollywood parties, and always remember that her career comes first. She also told Taylor that if there was even a whiff of scandal or cheating, he’d be banned from seeing her. Taylor’s still on his best behavior. And he knows if their romance is to have a chance, he’s got to stay in her mom’s good graces. Taylor is breathing a huge sigh of relief because he’s gotten the seal of approval from Andrea Swift.”

This is the girl who is almost 20 right?! Time for mommy to cut the cord and let Taylor grow up and experience life a little.
You do know that the whole article was made up, don’t you? The original source is The National Enquirer.
She’s almost 20 years old…. geez…. Taylor needs to stand up to her parents a little bit. You can love your daughter without smothering her. If they taught Taylor well then they should trust her.
I guess I just don’t get it–she will be 20 years old this month and is dating a 17 year old boy. Isn’t that called jail bait?????? Is she that immature that she has to date someone younger than her???? I am younger than her boyfriend–but I think she needs to date someone near her own age–but older than her–and who is more mature. What is wrong with her and where is her common sense? Even though I am younger than her I think I am way more mature than both of them.
Sami- There is a blatant double standard….it’s only jail bait when it’s the guy who’s older. When Miley dated Justin it was all about the age difference, nobody says anything about Taylor being the older woman…..A I dont care if the article comes from the national enquirer or not….she’s 20 years old people need to start treating her that way. Her songs about high school seem to mislead people into thinking shes a teenager, she’s a woman now time to sing about grown up stuff!
I guess none of the above have a close relationship with their parents or you would understand why Taylor would like her mom’s approval. Her mom goes everywhere with her on tour and Taylor loves that she does. Taylor just recently moved into her own town home near Nashville so a piece of that “string” some of you mentioned has been cut. Since you all are bringing the age into the factor, Taylor just turned 20, Taylor will be 18 soon, what is the problem there? None that I see. And by the way, no one is an “adult” until they turn 21 (since your bringing age into this) Taylor will make the transition into more adult songs when her fans want her too, right now she is doing just fine and if you’d listen to some of the “old adult” singers out there now, the theme is the same although its now in a bar setting!!!!!
Kerri—absolutely not true—I have a great close relationship with my parents. Not many girls can say that they can talk with their Mom and their DAD about anything–and I have that and am so happy that God made us a family. I have 2 brothers also that are athletes and are going to college to become doctors. I feel blessed every single day and my life could not be happier. No I am not a fan of Taylor’s music but I will not bash her personally–because I don’t know her and I think that is very wrong. I play the piano, guitar and violin and I am learning the drums (which I love) so I do know a little about music, notes, etc.. I started loving music when I was three. One day I may be on CMT or I may decide to become a doctor —–don’t know yet!!!!! I can bet that if I do go into music–I will be bashed also!!!!!
Kerri-
So nice of you to make a judgement call based off one internet posting. You couldnt be more wrong. I happen to be best friends with my mom, I am also a mother so I do know parental approval is important, but it’s not the end all be all. I know my parents were skeptical when I met the man I still proudly call my husband after 15 years. If I’d have listened to my mom back then I wouldnt have the life I love right now. All I meant was Taylor is 20, by the way 18 is what it takes to make you an adult (I dont know where you live that you think it’s 21) she was 19 for this whole last year and 18 the year before it’s time for her to spread her wings, make some mistakes, and grow. Taking one of her most popular songs 15, Im not sure how that one translates into a “bar scence” but whatever.
I attended a concert last Friday night about 600 people, when the opening act started talking about Taylor before singing one of her songs, the collective groan and boo from the crowd was SO loud Im pretty sure that song will be cut from the set list from now on.
Sarah, Regardless of what’s true or what’s not true with ANY of those details, just because Taylor Swift is almost twenty doesn’t neccecarily mean that her Mom can’t or wouldn’t be involved in her life and the things going on in it . From what I’ve heard , Taylor Swift is very close to her parents and its not about having permission to do things so much as having a good relationship with them and wanting their advice / opinions from her own free will. The fact that they’re protective of her is probably a comfort rather than a constraint. Just a thought.
Alison-Im more focused on the big picture, not just this little article. People talk about Taylor and treat Taylor like she’s still in high school. Like I said Im very close with both my parents and they are still involved in my life and I am comforted by their input. I didnt say her mom couldnt be involved or she couldnt listen to her moms advice, but it’s time to recognize Taylor as the grown ADULT woman she is. It’s time for everyone to step back and let Taylor be Taylor. I personally believe (as do others I’ve spoken with) that she is being pushed to maintain the high school sweetheart image because thats what is brings in the money. Her next cd will hopefully give a glimpse at what direction she is going. Again I think it’s great she has a close relationship with her mom, it’s important. That said I also believe it’s important for everyone to live a little and experience life and not listen to mommy and daddy all the time.
Sarah – Honestly I’m kind of confused because you seem a little contradictory. You say you want to let Taylor be Taylor, but then you mention how you’d like her to progress her image and focus like a ‘grown-up’ and really, I don’t understand why anyone would say she’s not. People have said she’s very business savvy for someone her age, very focused on her career and she generally makes thought-out, intelligent choices about her life and her music. Her debut album was about having a hard time as a young teenager. Her sophomore album, two years later, was about high school and and third album, presumably will be about the last two years since she’s been out of high school and what she’s experienced since then. She’s said that she strives to make her albums very personal and very paced so I’m not worried about seeing her continuous, gradual progression as her music continues. Just my opinion. Also about listening to Mommy and Daddy, I’ve heard that Taylor takes advice from any and all people in her life that she looks up to and values, not just her parents. I don’t think she lets people make her choices for her but rather values their opinions and observations and considers them (as she does her best friend Abigail, her band members, her producer, etc) before she makes any serious and/or important decisions regarding her life whether it be a business decision or a personal one. And with the exception of a few things she can’t help, (aka Joe Jonas turning to be a jerk,) she’s made a lot of wise, mature decisions so her methods, considerations seem to be working out for her! I say let her be her as She defines herself to be, not as anyone else thinks she should be.
Just my two cents!
Alison- Sorry you’re confused let me see if I can clear it up for you. Im not contradicting myself, I do want Taylor to be Taylor. That said, I personally think the Taylor Swift we are exposed to is an act, the sweet bubble gum, high school crap we’ve been getting for years is working for her and making some people very rich. I dont think that act is going to change with a new cd, I think we’re going to continue to get the crap she puts out as long as it keeps the money train rolling. I think she’s being controlled and pressured to put out a certain image, and I think if there wasnt that pressure we’d see a different Taylor. I dont think she acts like a 20 year old at all. I think she has a lot of people pulling the strings around her, and I dont think she makes any business decission, I think someone is doing that for her. I dont expect a new cd to be any different than the ones we’ve gotten. They may not be about high school, but they will have zero depth and be mushy bubble gum songs that teens and pre-teens will like. Just like being sexy and singing about sex works for Madonna and Britney, snging about high school works for Taylor. Just my opinions too….we’ll have to agree to disagree. I think she’s hype and nothing more….I dont think there is lasting power to her.
Whoa Sarah, tell us how you really feel…LOL I personally do think we see the real Taylor…I also think that it’s a double edge sword…When/if Taylor starts acting like the 20 year old people think she should be acting like (going out with friends and maybe having an extra-curricular beverage of 2) people will ‘freak out’ and say she’s losing it…falling to pieces…submerging herself in the young-hollywood scene. I think no matter what Taylor does/doesn’t do; those who are not fans will find something wrong with it. I don’t really think anyone is telling Taylor what to do…only because if they were I don’t think she’s be as successful…She’s breaking barriers that haven’t been broken by a female her age without becoming a train wreck. As far as the Mommy/Daddy comments…this is my MAIN reason for liking Taylor…I LOVE how much she LOVES her mom and dad. I can only hope that my daughters and myself can be that close as they get older. My girls (ages 3 and 5) are HUGE Taylor Swift fans, and she’s one of the VERY few girl-stars that I don’t mind they look up to. I think she takes her role-modeling very seriously, and unlike many others, realizes that there are older and much younger girls looking up to her…Her music reflects her experiences and the experiences many of her fans are going through now.
I sort of agree with Sarah. I will say that my favorite Taylor album is her debut album. To me, that album showed us who she was at that moment. With Fearless, even though, yes it is songs she has written and songs that reflect who she was and the songs do reach a lot of her young fans, I think a lot of them were recorded to sound to bubble gum like. Take Fearless for example. I think that song sounds very bubble gum pop-ish. I’ve heard the song acoustic and I think they should’ve stuck closer to that. I understand when recording you can’t do that but it could’ve been arranged differently on the album. As for her being so close to her parents, that is an amazing thing that she is to be commended for. I just think a lot of people, at least some of those who were big time fans and now are fading a little bit, are sick of the songs about the same things. High school love, being invisible, liking someone who is dating someone else, etc. We need some diversity from Taylor and who knows, maybe on the next album people will get that diversity.
YOU ALL JUST NEED TO GET A DANG LIFE I’M THIRTEEN(GOIN ON FOURTEEN 0 and i’m not even talkin about this stupid stuff!!!
