Overview
- On July 17, Sydney Sweeney posted a preview of a SYRN panty pack on Instagram that included a pair emblazoned with the phrase “But daddy, I love him.”
- Many Swift fans quickly read the wording as a reference to Taylor Swift’s 2024 track of the same name and tied the item to Sweeney’s relationship with music executive Scooter Braun.
- There is no public evidence Sweeney intended the design as a provocation, and neither Swift nor Braun have issued responses to the post.
- Some social media users urged legal action while others noted that short, common phrases are rarely subject to exclusive copyright, making court challenges unlikely.
- The item comes as broader context: Sweeney launched SYRN in January 2026 with outside investment, and the Swift–Braun dispute dates to Braun’s 2019 purchase of her early masters, which Swift repurchased in May 2025.
