Taylor Swift’s New Song: But Daddy I Love Him
Disney aficionados will easily recognize the side B track “But Daddy I Love Him” as a clever homage to Disney’s classic animated film, “The Little Mermaid.” Adding to the charm is the fact that the movie premiered in 1989, the same year Swift was born.
However, for fans who admire Swift’s skill in intertwining personal narratives with a hint of intrigue, some may playfully speculate that it’s a subtle reference to Harry Styles.
This speculation arose after an old photo of the “What Makes You Beautiful” singer resurfaced, depicting Styles wearing a white shirt with the phrase “But Daddy I Love Him” emblazoned on it.
