Publicist Tree Paine has been by Taylor Swift’s side through several career highs and lows since taking her on as a client in 2014
Tree Paine has built a big reputation for herself as Taylor Swift’s longtime publicist.
Paine has been by the Grammy winner’s side both in public and behind the scenes over the years, often joining Swift at awards shows and red carpet events.
The pair shared a hilarious moment at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards as Swift was seen continuously mouthing, “Hey, Tree,” to Paine on a livestream of the ceremony’s audience.
Swift also gave Paine a shout-out on the red carpet at the October 2023 premiere of The Eras Tour concert movie. When asked by photographers if she would pose for a solo pic, Swift responded, “I do what I’m told, if you don’t mind. OK? You see that redhead? She’ll tell me what to do.”
While Swift often interacts with fans online, Paine has remained relatively quiet on social media, mainly reposting updates about her client’s career. On occasion, however, Paine uses her platform to call out false reports about the pop star.
