Taylor Swift’s Scathing Take On Scooter Braun & Scott Borchetta

Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl is full of lyrical curveballs, but Father Figure might be the sharpest.

While it may initially read as a critique of a woman — some fans have even speculated it targets a traitorous peer — we’d plead otherwise. In Father Figure, Swift adopts the perspective of Scott Borchetta, the former manager who discovered her and later sold her masters to Scooter Braun.
