Paul Sidoti

Paul Sidoti is a highly versatile and respected American professional musician, vocalist, and songwriter, best known as the lead guitarist and vocalist for Taylor Swift since December 2007. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, Sidoti is a multi-instrumentalist who began playing guitar at age five and taught himself keyboards, bass, and drums. Before joining Swift's band, affectionately known as "The Agency," his career included sidework with classic rock acts like Gary Lewis and the Playboys (as a bassist from 1993-1999) and the power-pop group The Raspberries (as a guitarist/keyboardist from 2004-2007). Since 2007, he has played a pivotal role in every one of Taylor Swift's major tours, including The Fearless Tour, The Red Tour, The 1989 World Tour, the Reputation Stadium Tour, and the historic The Eras Tour (2023-2024), where he is often seen shredding the guitar solos and providing crucial background vocals. In addition to touring, Sidoti has contributed his talents on guitar, keyboards, and vocals to Taylor Swift's studio albums, notably on Speak Now and the re-recorded Taylor's Version albums. He is celebrated by fans for his energetic stage presence, his rock-and-roll influence (he is a huge KISS fan), and his deep, long-standing relationship with Taylor Swift, spanning over 17 years.
