On Tuesday, March 12, a Swiftie was born. That's because Paul Sidoti, the lead guitarist for Taylor Swift's band, welcomed a baby boy.

Sidoti took to Instagram to announce that he and his wife, Ashley Sidoti, welcomed a son earlier in the day.

"This morning, we welcomed our little miracle Sammy Sidoti into the world," Paul captioned a photo of his family's newest addition. "Our prayers were answered and mommy and baby are doing great.. Big sister Scarlett is over the moon having a baby brother.. All my love to @ashsidoti ❤️🙏🏻."

The adorable photo showed baby Sammy peacefully snoozing while swaddled in a hospital bassinet. According to a letter board next to him, the newborn's full name is Samuel Paul Sidoti. He arrived at 7:30 a.m., weighing 8 pounds even and measuring 20 inches in length. "He is perfect!" the board declared.
