Taylor Swift’s Lead Guitarist Paul Sidoti Welcomes Baby Amid Eras Tour Hiatus

On Tuesday, March 12, a Swiftie was born. That’s because Paul Sidoti, the lead guitarist for Taylor Swift’s band, welcomed a baby boy.

Sidoti took to Instagram to announce that he and his wife, Ashley Sidoti, welcomed a son earlier in the day.

“This morning, we welcomed our little miracle Sammy Sidoti into the world,” Paul captioned a photo of his family’s newest addition. “Our prayers were answered and mommy and baby are doing great.. Big sister Scarlett is over the moon having a baby brother.. All my love to @ashsidoti ❤️.”

The adorable photo showed baby Sammy peacefully snoozing while swaddled in a hospital bassinet. According to a letter board next to him, the newborn’s full name is Samuel Paul Sidoti. He arrived at 7:30 a.m., weighing 8 pounds even and measuring 20 inches in length. “He is perfect!” the board declared.

In the comments, Paul’s followers reacted to joyful news. Many Swift fans pointed out the lucky timing of Sammy’s arrival, as the pop superstar just wrapped up the most recent leg of her Eras Tour in Singapore on March 9 and doesn’t resume until May 9.

One person commented, “He waited until the Eras tour took a 2 month break!!!!” while another quipped, “Good job on baby staying put while you were in Singapore! Congrats!!!”

Yet another Instagram user declared, “AND THE YOUNGEST SWIFTIE AWARD GOES TO….. SAMMY ”

Meanwhile, someone else pointed out, “ANOTHER SWIFTIE IS BORN.”

One of Swift’s dancers, Kam Saunders, declared, “Ohhhhhhhhh myyyyyy GOD! THIS IS MASSIVE! Congratulations! ❤️”

Seriously, though—how amazing is it that Paul gets to spend quality time with his new baby boy amid the Eras Tour? Congrats!
