It seems like Barbie's enthusiasm for Taylor Swift has rubbed off on her mom, Amy Forteza.

We've already established the fact that Barbie Forteza is a huge fan of American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift.

As a loud and proud Swiftie (Taylor's official fandom name), Barbie is constantly inspired by the performer's songs and sense of style that she often references them on her social media accounts.

And it seems like Barbie's enthusiasm for the singer has rubbed off on her mom, Amy Forteza, as she is seen quoting the American singer while doing her hobby of crocheting.

On Instagram last June 28th, the elder Forteza referenced a lyric from Taylor Swift's new single “Me.”

“And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me-e-e…,” she wrote.

And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me-e-e..🎵🎶

As it turns out the little side project Amy was doing was meant for her youngest daughter.

Yesterday, July 8, Barbie showcased the rainbow-colored crochet poncho for the world to see.

She proudly wrote on Instagram, “I'm also wearing my TSwift inspired crochet poncho made by @eightforteza124 (taob ang Chanel)”

Just had my “sleeping” (yes, oo nakahiga siya) tooth extracted this morning at Metro Dental Trinoma. Thank you, @doc_diane for taking good care of me and for playing Taylor Swift songs all throughout the surgery. I'm also wearing my TSwift inspired crochet poncho made by @eightforteza124 🌈 (taob ang Chanel) p.s. dun sa mga taong gigil na gigil nang ipaayos ang ngipin ko... You're welcome. Makakatulog na kayo ng mahimbing tonight hahahahahaha charot labyu guys! Ito na yun! Invisalign na ang next! Thank you @metrodentalph 🙏🏻🦷

Upon closer inspection, Amy Forteza took inspiration from the singer's latest Instagram feed which is filled with splashes of pastel rainbow colors.

The recent rainbow-filled era of Taylor Swift is in reference to Pride Month to which the singer has become more outspoken over the past months. Taylor recently posted a letter on Instagram asking the Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander to support the Equality Act, discussing politics and even using her platform to urge her fans to vote.

We're loving the rainbow crochet poncho and had us thinking if Mommy Amy can share her tips in making one?
