Luckily, Swift's BFF Lorde broke down the meaning of the teen slang last year after she tweeted "mom" in response to Kim Kardashian's internet-breaking attempt of a magazine cover. "It basically jokingly means 'adopt me/be my second mom/i think of you as a mother figure you are so epic'," Lorde explained later on her Tumblr.
Even with that compliment in mind though, Swift has given her reasons why she isn't into the tag. When one fan shared a video of her mother griping about how her daughter refers to Swift as "mom," the pop star responded on Tumblr.
"This is a passionate plea and I see her reasoning," Swift wrote. "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'. I'm more like your crazy aunt. So you shall not call me 'Mom'. No, it's Aunt Becky." Read more here.
