Taylor Swift Wears T-Shirt Inspired by Tumblr Meme About Herself

The more famous someone gets, the more likely they are to become the butt of a million jokes across the Internet, so the best thing any celebrity can do about this is to play along.

And that is what Taylor Swift has done with a recent Tumblr meme about her.

Earlier this week, the "Shake It Off" singer was spotted wearing a yellow T-shirt with the phrase “no its becky” written across it, a reference to an old photograph of Swift that surfaced on the microblogging site Tumblr.

In the original Tumblr post, the Swift photo was accompanied with a story about a girl named Becky who apparently snorted marijuana and died instantly — Tumblr’s a weird place — but when another Tumblr user noted that the girl in the photo was a teenage Swift, the original poster replied, “no its becky.”

If that sounds a little confusing, here is a helpful tweet to clarify things:

Simply wearing the shirt out in public was not enough for Swift, though. She also wore the shirt in an altered version of the cover to her upcoming album 1989, which you can check out on her Tumblr account here.

1989 is set for release Oct. 27. It will be Swift’s fifth studio album, her first since 2012’s Red, and will be her first entirely pop album rather than the country-pop fusion she normally does.
