Speculation about the phrase appearing on Sweeney’s new lingerie has been fueled by her romantic relationship with Scooter Braun, whose highly publicized feud with the pop superstar dates back several years.
The music executive purchased Swift’s former label, Big Machine Records, granting him ownership of her first six studio albums.
This prompted the singer to embark on a massive re-recording project to get back on top of her catalog. The dispute officially ended in May 2025, when Swift successfully repurchased her original recordings directly from Shamrock Capital, the private equity firm to which Braun had sold them in 2020.
In response to Sweeney’s recent move, one social media user accused her of being “messy”, suggesting that it was unlikely that the phrase was simply a personal expression of hers given its strong association with Swift’s song.
Others, however, argued that there was no evidence that the actress intended the drawing as an attack on the singer.
“I don’t like her, but ‘but daddy, I love her’ isn’t from the Taylor Swift song; it’s a line from ‘The Little Mermaid,'” one Swift fan said in defense of Sweeney.
