The following article references sexual misconduct.
Enough said, right?
Tree and Swift took a liking to each other and became fast friends.
She worked at Mute Records, proving her worth in the company’s sales department.
Tree is married to Lance Paine, who happens to be the president of Scott Brothers Global.
Yes, as in the production company that heads thepopular HGTV show “Property Brothers.”
Like his wife, Lance feels like a go-getter.
He is a superb strategist and strong visionary a fantastic addition to the team."
Tree Paine might be famous, but she’s a pretty private person.
Here are some details you might not know about her.
She also praised her superiors for creating a dynamic and creative work environment.
Her first client was none other than Taylor Swift.
Tree replaced Swift’s longtime publicist, Paula Erickson, who worked with Swift for seven years.
That said, hiring the right person for the job could be tricky.
“The challenge is finding that person you know and trust,” they said.
It seems Swift already had the perfect candidate in mind, having known Paine since 2007.
She’s proven to be worthy of the title since.
Many believe Paine is behind this, and given her track record, this theory is not too far-fetched.
“This story is 100% not true.
Never believe the National Enquirer,” Paine wrote.
She also didn’t refrain from addressing unconfirmed stories when outlets reached out for comment.
Swifties surely remember the 2014 rumor aboutSwift and friend Karlie Klosssupposedly kissing at a 1975 concert.
The internet had a mini meltdown and Paine wasn’t having it.
When asked for comment byEntertainment Tonight, Paine called the story “crap.”
Midterm elections in Tennessee were looming, and Swift voiced her support for the Democratic candidates onInstagram.
“I always have to bring up everything… that we need to expect,” Paine told Swift.
“Number one: the president could come after you.”
Swift wasn’t worried, and Paine continued to have her client’s back.
She countersued him for $1 and won.
She had the support of her whole family and fanbase during this time, of course.

We may never know.
Could be a coincidence, could be a savvy PR scheme.
“Tree Paine is everywhere and nowhere.
Tree Paine is present and absent,” culture journalist Hunter Harris toldThe Daily Beast and fans love it.
“I aspire to be Tree Paine.
Queen of PR,” one fanpostedin 2023.
“Tree paine i hope both sides of your pillow are always cold!
“The devil works hard but Tree Paine works harder!!!!!
Yas Queen thank you for ur service,” anotherpostedin all caps back in 2021.
I made that b***h famous.”
This sparked a back-and-forth between Swift and West that ended up causing a media storm.
Kardashian insisted Swift said the line was okay; Swift denied she approved that verbiage.
However, when the entire phone call was leaked in 2020, it painted a different version of events.
“I’m Taylor’s publicist and this is my UNEDITED original statement.
who did you guys p*ss off to leak that video?”
She issued a statement, slamming the account for hurting the people mentioned in its posts.
“Enough is enough with these fabricated lies about Taylor from Deuxmoi.
There was NEVER a marriage or ceremony of ANY kind.
This is an insane thing to post.
Either way, I apologize to Taylor.”
Paine didn’t dignify the jab with a reply.
Nonetheless, the rumors were mostly put to rest after that.
Taylor turned around and answered, “You see that redhead?
She’ll tell me what to do.”
It then appears that Paine gave the go-ahead.
With that, Swift began posing for the requested pictures.
I wasn’t even writing a major feature and she was on it."
It might be Paine’s ability to appear omniscient that unnerves journalists.
“Crossing Tree is the same thing as crossing Taylor.
However, after she fired back at DeuxMoi for spreading false rumors, her power reverberated throughout the fandom.
“It’s not hard to see why that reputation has taken off.”
I hang up the phone like, ‘Damn, she’s good at her job.'”
Paine, it seems, thrives on remaining mysterious.
And yet, she remains an enigma.
It seems Paine, like Taylor Swift, has a gift for achieving the impossible.
“I’m fascinated by the visibility that she has within the fan community,” Baird said.
Not only does she have her own fans, but there are even parody accounts that impersonate her.
“I also admire Tree Paine… and how she works,” PR expert Molly McPherson added.
“These two are at the top of their game.
