Taylor Swift embarrassed by her dad

Taylor Swift gets embarrassed by her dad.

The 'Love Story' singer has taken her father on tour with her and says his cheeky sense of humour can sometimes leave her red-faced.

She wrote on her MySpace blog: "I'm walking into the hotel lobby after returning from dinner. It's a quiet, serene, beautiful when. Screaming voice from out of nowhere, 'HEY! THAT'S TAYLOR SWIFT!!' Me, 'Dad. Please stop doing that (sic).'"

However, Taylor, 19, is pleased her dad is with her all the time because he keeps her grounded. She said: "It's pretty priceless having my dad out here with me."

Taylor is glad her dad has joined her on tour as she recently revealed she is currently single but doesn't want to actively seek out a relationship.

Taylor - who previously dated Jonas Brothers star Joe Jonas - said: "I don't look for boyfriends. I don't really scour the awards shows for who I'm going to date, but I think love happens when you're not looking for it, and when it happens, I'm not going to be the one to over think it."
