A Taylor Swift fan has caused a stir after she revealed plans to sell what appears to be the pop star’s birth announcement, with many accusing her of “cashing in” on the singer’s name.
On Facebook, social media user Meg DiPiano explained that they had come across the letter in its original envelope, which contained details of the chart-topping artist after her birth on December 13, 1989.
The adorable ad, written in the style of a stock certificate, included two photos of the singer as a baby surrounded by stuffed toys.
He also revealed that Taylor, now 34, weighed eight pounds, four ounces at birth and was 21 inches tall.
Taylor’s parents, Andrea and Scott, also wrote a sweet message that poked fun at Scott’s job as a stockbroker at the time.
A Taylor Swift fan has caused a stir after she revealed her plans to sell the pop star’s birth announcement.
Meg DiPiano explained that they had found the letter in its original envelope.
It said: “Following the hostile takeover and subsequent merger of Andrea Finlay and Scott Swift in February 1988, this spin-off is successful in Pennsylvania and Texas, making stabilization procedures unnecessary.”
Meg posted her findings in a group dedicated to Eras Tour Swifties, in which she asked if anyone would be interested in purchasing the treasure from her.
Along with the snaps, she wrote: “My grandmother worked for Taylor Swift’s father in Wyomissing, PA. When my grandmother passed away, we found Taylor’s birth announcement on her desk, in the original envelope. Is anyone interested in purchasing this?
The post went viral on X, formerly known as Twitter, with many wondering why the souvenir was being sold in the first place.
One user wrote: ‘Why is this person selling this instead of trying to get it to Taylor, her team or Andrea??? This is just strange…’
Another said: ‘I’m in this group too and I saw this… SO weird trying to market something that’s NOT yours. Is that an official document?
Echoing a similar sentiment, a third wrote: “It’s really sad that Taylor’s name is like a giant dollar sign nowadays. People no longer have common decency.
However, others were less critical.
On Facebook, she asked if any fellow Swifties would be interested in purchasing the birth announcement.
Taylor’s father, Scott, was a stockbroker for Merrill Lynch at the time of the singer’s birth in 1989.
“Maybe this person really needs the money,” one suggested. “It’s completely harmless to sell it.”
Another added: “It’s just a birth announcement.” I’m sure they have copies they saved.
This isn’t the first time Taylor fans have gotten mad at a fellow Swiftie for slamming memories.
In June, a fan came under fire for selling a bracelet she said the pop star’s mother gave her at an Eras Tour concert.
After being online for less than 24 minutes, the bracelet sold for $200, much to the chagrin of Swifties.
‘Who would want to buy that? Honestly, it doesn’t mean anything if they didn’t GIVE it to you,” another person posted.
“That’s so sad to me,” someone else wrote.
