A mother opened up about her love for Taylor Swift and how it helped her bond with her daughter.
With "The Eras Tour" and its concert film release, 2023 has been an unforgettable year for Swifties worldwide. From new merchandise to film screenings to the scramble for coveted tickets, Taylor Swift's influence has sparked endless excitement. Ginny Blair (@saywhaaatt1) captured this shared enthusiasm in a heartfelt TikTok, where she talked about how Taylor has helped her bond with her 9-year-old daughter like never before. Blair, now 34, explained that she’s been a lifelong Swiftie, growing up with Taylor since they're the same age. Swift’s songs have guided her through tough times, and now the song “Mean” is helping her daughter cope with bullying. Blair was overjoyed when Taylor commented on her post, saying, “Taylor commenting made my daughter and I's Christmas complete," in a message to TODAY.com.
The video addressed to Taylor Swift started as follows, “Hey Taylor… I’ve been a fan forever. We’re the same age, so I grew up with you. You, like, sang about my life growing up.” “Now, I have a 9-year-old daughter who is everything,” she said, talking about her daughter who much to her mother’s joy and pride, has taken over her as the No.1 Swiftie. Ginny Blair further shared how she and her daughter have developed a stronger bond this year, all thanks to Taylor Swift as they attended her "Eras Tour" in two different cities and watched the concert film together five times. “We got the buckets and we got the merch and we have had so much fun. And then just the other night we rented the movie and ordered a pizza and lounged and had a movie night watching ‘The Eras Tour’,” she continued.
Blair shared that she is a single mom and for her daughter to say, “I’ve had the best year with you” means a lot to her. She candidly showed her gratitude as she said, “The most fun I’ve had this year is belting in the car and watching my daughter flourish.” She continued, “I just wanted you to know that you have changed my mom-heart and have brought my daughter and I closer together.” It’s safe to say that her note reached the "Evermore" singer who commented on her video, “You just reminded me of why this year has been so special. I’m so moved by what you said. It reminds me of me and my mom and the memories we made at that age.”
"Thank you so much for sharing this,” Swift added, “Being vulnerable enough to share your true emotions is a beautiful thing. Happy Holidays.” Blair replied to the singer in a video with her daughter saying, “This isn’t real… oh my god! Thank you for being unapologetically you!” Blair also did a response video where she danced with her daughter on the "1989 (Taylor's Version)" vault track, "Is It Over Now?" making the exchange even more special.
