Stranger Things star and singer-songwriter Maya Hawke has remembered turning her actor father Ethan into a Taylor Swift fan.Hawke, who released second studio album ‘Moss’ last month, was talking to The Line Of Best Fit for their ‘Nine Songs’ feature, about formative tracks in musicians’ lives.Choosing Taylor Swift’s 2010 track ‘Ours’, Hawke explained: “I remember that song very distinctly.

My dad was such a powerful creative influence on me musically, he showed me so many songs and artists that I still listen to, and love and care about.

It took me a long while to be able to show him something he didn’t already know about.“‘Ours’ was the first Taylor Swift song that I played for him on guitar.

He was like, ‘Who wrote that?’, and I was like, ‘Taylor Swift!’ He told me he thought it was a really good song, and I was like, ‘Oh my god, I just brought something to my dad that he didn’t know and he likes – and I like!’ It made me feel so confident.”Hawke remembered: “He ended up taking me to see the ‘Speak Now’ tour.
