Is Taylor Swift’s Father Figure about Olivia Rodrigo and Scooter Braun?

You know it’s a big week in pop culture when Swifties turn into full-blown cryptologists. Taylor Swift drops Father Figure — and the fandom is already in the trenches, magnifying glass in one hand, heartbreak in the other. Forget decoding the Da Vinci Code; this is about decoding Taylor’s daddy issues.

Taylor Swift’s latest release has fans wondering if it’s a double-edged track aimed at Olivia Rodrigo and Scooter Braun

The latest theory lighting up the internet? That this track is a double shot — one part Olivia Rodrigo, one part Scooter Braun. Yes, the pop princess turned prodigy and the industry villain who needs no introduction. It’s like a dysfunctional family reunion you can dance to.

Fans swear Taylor’s lyrical knives have names this time. “You remind me of a younger me,” she croons — cue the Olivia parallels. Remember when Rodrigo was fangirling over Swift, borrowing her melodic DNA, and then, well… credits got messy? Mentor turned myth, muse turned maybe-foe. The emotional receipts are all there if you scroll far enough.

But then comes the bite: “I showed you the tricks of the trade,” “I protect the family,” and suddenly the light shifts from Olivia to the man who once owned her masters — Scooter Braun. He’s been the phantom villain in Taylor’s cinematic universe for years, and this track feels like the franchise finally closing its loop.

Of course, Swift, ever the sly puppeteer, insists it’s “written from a character’s perspective.” Sure, and Cruel Summer was just about the weather. Taylor doesn’t just write songs — she writes puzzles, and she knows we can’t resist playing.

Whether Father Figure is about an industry patriarch or a fallen protégé, the message is clear: Taylor’s tired of men who try to play mentor while holding the keys to her cage. It’s not a breakup anthem. It’s a power anthem.

And while fans keep hunting for Easter eggs, Taylor’s probably somewhere sipping her wine, smirking, and thinking — “You got that right, but not quite.”
