Taylor Swift’s mother Andrea reacts to the lyrics “thanK you aIMee”

Taylor Swift and Andrea Swift prove once again that they are mother-daughter role models!

For the surprise song portion of the Eras Tour show in London on Saturday, June 22, Swift performed a mashup of Speak Now Click on “Average” and The “Tortured Poets” section‘s “thanK you aIMee”, in which Andrea is mentioned.

The latter song contains pointed lyrics about Swift’s feud with Kim Kardashian, with Swift, 34, singing, “Everyone knows my mother is a holy woman, but she always said she wished you were dead.”

As the 14-time Grammy winner uttered the phrase on stage at Wembley Stadium, a fan filming the show near the VIP tent for friends and family turned his camera to capture her mother’s sweet reaction.

In the fan-shot footage, spectators near Andrea clap and cheer after the song’s line “Saintly Woman,” and she responds by waving enthusiastically from the tent.

Another trimming from the same show, shared by a Swift fan account, shows “The Best Day” muse arriving – and she gets emotional as Swifties cheer her on.

In the video, Andrea runs along a barrier and waves to her fans. While the crowd shows no signs of stopping cheering for “Mama Swift,” she catches her breath, smiles, and puts her hand over her mouth.

With a handful of friendship bracelets given to her by Swifties – a tradition of the Eras Tour, inspired by a lyric by midnight Song “You’re On Your Own, Kid” – she also touched her breast with her hand as she walked through the crowd.

Elsewhere during Swift’s shows in London, which were also attended by Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce and her father Scott Swift, Andrea nodded to Swift’s maternal grandmother.

The approval came when the pop superstar performed always Track “Marjorie”, which is named after and is about her late grandmother Marjorie Finlay and features a backing track with her vocals.

During the performance of the emotional tribute track — a classic from Swift’s always And folklore Set – Andrea was seen holding up a photo of Marjorie, as shown in another photo taken by a fan.
