Swifties praise Taylor Swift for ‘planning’ Eras tour around her lead guitarist’s expectant baby so he could spend time with his new arrival

Taylor Swift’s lead guitarist has welcomed a new Swiftie into his family.

Paul Sidoti announced on social media that he and his wife Ashley welcomed a son, Samuel Paul, on March 12.

Paul has been the lead guitarist and background vocalist for the Grammy-winning artist since December 2007.

He recently posted an adorable photo of the newborn on his Instagram, writing: “This morning we welcomed our little miracle Sammy Sidoti into the world. Our prayers have been answered and mom and baby are doing great. Big sister Scarlett is delighted to have a little brother. All my love to @ashsidoti.’

Fans were quick to share their congratulations and even praised Swift for “planning” the Eras tour around the soon-to-be baby.

“I love that she preemptively planned the tour around the due date,” one fan wrote.

‘(The baby) waited for the Eras tour to take a 2 month break!!!!’

‘Oh my God, Paul, I’m so happy for you!! Luckily your new boyfriend waited for you to get back from Asia! Congratulations everyone… well done, Mrs. Sidoti/Mama Queen! another user commented.

Swift and her team are currently enjoying a two-month break ahead of a long string of European dates.

They will return to the stage on May 9 in Paris.

It comes after the Grammy Award winner, 34, premiered her documentary Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour in October.

The documentary quickly became the #1 musical film on Disney+.

According to Deadline, the 3.5-hour concert film has racked up 4.6 million views since it began streaming last Thursday.

Swift launched The Eras Tour on March 17, 2023 in Glendale, California, with 152 shows scheduled across five continents through the end of 2024.

Serving as a retrospective of his career, the 10-act show features 44 songs from his extensive discography.

The Disney+ version of the concert film features performances of some of Swift’s most recent songs.
