Both Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are around the same age of 34 right now. The Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end recently celebrated his 34th birthday, and the former is just 2 months younger. But that didn’t stop netizens from giving their relationship an unanticipated branding. After one of the snaps from the duo’s latest New York dinner date went viral, the internet had its say over it.
While most didn’t like the paparazzi-esque act, one straight-up branded Swift with an unwanted tag. With no clarification over the comment referencing back to pop culture, fellow fans found the remark to be close to bizarre in the situation, having no concern whatsoever.

Some people, especially Swifties, were understandably disappointed at how the duo was snatched off their privacy and seemed to get followed by cameras all around. They indicated the said situation and appealed to fellow fans to give Swift-Kelce the desired space in the setting.
This is SO sad! Give them space, and let them enjoy themselves!

One particular comment, however, managed to capture the most attention online. It seemingly indicated that Talor Swift was mothering Travis Kelce in the picture shared, however, no sort of explanation for the bizarre comment was offered by the person who made the retort.
Mother is Mothering

With no direct explanation or meaning of the term used, “Mother is mothering” here in a probable sense can be seen as a use of modern pop culture lingo. While some found the comment to be unnecessary and making no sense, there is another understanding that derives from the use of the unexpected word.

Apparently, it turns out Taylor Swift is seemingly mothering herself, as per the reference of the comment. Now, there seems to be an absurd explanation of the terminology put forth in the scenario. In the context of the Gen-Z language, or more precisely the sense of the internet, the comment of mothering simply means being one’s own self in a situation.
In short, here the acronym ‘mother’ is used to describe someone’s favorite female artist, much like the term ‘queen‘ referring to a highly influential woman who dazzles people with her characteristics, ‘mothering’ means the artist is rocking at whatever she’s doing, in her usual charismatic sense.
