Taylor Swift‘s lead guitarist has welcomed a new Swiftie into his family.
Paul Sidoti took to social media to announce that he and 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 to his Instagram, writing: ‘This morning, we welcomed our little miracle Sammy Sidoti into the world. 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.’
Fans were quick to share their congratulations and even praised Swift for ‘planning’ the Eras tour around the expectant baby.
‘I love that she planned the tour around the due date preemptively,’ one fan wrote.
‘[The baby] waited until the Eras tour took a 2 month break!!!!’
‘Oh my gosh, Paul – I’m so happy for you!! Good thing your new buddy waited til you got home from Asia! Congrats all around… way to go, Mrs. Sidoti/Mama Queen! another user commented.
