Sydney Sweeney sparked anger from Taylor Swift's fans after unveiling underwear featuring a phrase made famous by one of the pop superstar's songs.
Sydney, who is dating music mogul Scooter Braun who Taylor famously had a legal battle with, shared a sneak peek at the latest underwear from her lingerie brand SYRN on Instagram. Among the new designs was a pair of panties emblazoned with the words, "But daddy, I love him."
The phrase is the title of a track from Taylor's 2024 album The Tortured Poets Department, prompting Swifties to immediately question whether the slogan was a subtle dig at the singer. Showing off the new range, Sydney captioned the post, "Panty packs with some of my lil sayings. Hehehe." The Euphoria star's post comes after she put on an eye-popping display as she writhed around in lingerie.

It didn't take long for fans to flood social media with their reactions, with many pointing out the connection between Sydney's relationship with Scooter and his long-running feud with Taylor over her master recordings.
One person wrote on X, "Sydney Sweeney, girlfriend to Scooter Braun, has a Taylor Swift lyric on a pair of panties that her brand is selling, 'But daddy I love him', and then she says it is one of her little sayings? Messy girl."
Another fan urged, "TAYLOR SUE." A third added, "The audacity." Others even suggested the pop icon should take legal action over the phrase, although several fans were quick to point out that Taylor does not own the words.
One user commented, "I don't love her but 'but daddy I love him' isn't from the Taylor Swift song, it's a line in The Little Mermaid." Another agreed, writing, "Taylor doesn't own that line but that is still a weird choice of design."
While there's no evidence Sydney intended the slogan as a jab, many Swifties insisted the choice of wording was "interesting" given her relationship with Scooter. Scooter and Taylor were locked in one of the music industry's biggest disputes after his company acquired Big Machine Label Group in 2019, giving him ownership of the master recordings for her first six albums.
Taylor said at the time she had been blindsided by the deal and accused Scooter of subjecting her to "incessant, manipulative bullying" over the years. Scooter later sold the catalogue to Shamrock Capital in a deal reportedly worth around $300 million (£236 million).
After years of re-recording her albums under the "Taylor's Version" banner, Taylor finally regained ownership of her original masters in May 2025, purchasing them back from Shamrock in a deal reportedly valued at around $360 million.
