Taylor Swift must've learned her hard work ethic from her father, Scott Swift, pictured above with his gorgeous and insanely talented daughter.

T. Swift's daddy makes big bucks as a Merrill Lynch financial advisor, which is probably why the 'I Knew You Were Trouble' songstress was able to grow up on a beautiful Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania... and then move to Nashville to pursue a singing career at the age of 14. Her dad is such a great guy, that he transferred to an office down in the Tennessee city, taking his family along with him to help make Taylor's dreams come true.

No wonder Taylor Swift is so sweet. She was raised right, by a family who loves her unconditionally and supports her through thick and thin.
