Taylor Swift Tells Fan Not to Call Her ‘Mom’

Image Group LA/ABC(NEW YORK) — Note to young fans: Taylor Swift is not your mom.
While catching up with her fans on Tumblr this week, Taylor addressed one girl in particular who keeps calling her “mom.” She responded to a video from the girl’s actual mom, in which the woman asks her daughter to stop using the maternal term to refer to Taylor.
In case you’re not aware, teens use “mom” as a compliment to describe a super cool female whom they wish would be their second mom.
“Maddie,” Taylor writes to the girl. “This is a passionate plea and I see her reasoning. Your mom birthed you. I was off playing in coffee houses. Your mom tended to you when you cried as a toddler. I drew lyrics on my arms and stomped around in cowboy boots while you cried in the night. Your mom taught you how to speak and read. I was like ‘come on! Let’s all have fun and jump around at this concert and paint our faces with glitter!’”
“So no, I have not earned the right to be referred to as your ‘Mom,’” she continues. “I’m more like your crazy aunt. So you shall not call me ‘Mom’. No, it’s Aunt Becky.”
In case you forgot, “Becky” refers to an Internet meme Taylor embraced last year.
