Every Taylor Swift fan in Australia is currently feeling concert anxiety as the date for her Eras tour ticket sales approaches.
And any kid not old enough to buy their own ticket will be praying their adult comes through for them.
But one mom did even better this week, by not only securing tickets for first grader, but also making it clear to the school that her daughter’s absence to attend the concert was easily explainable.
Karen Vladeck shared an email she sent to her daughter’s teacher, explaining that she wouldn’t be in school on April 24 due to The Eras Tour.
In a clever twist, the email was packed with Swift lyric references, including in the subject line, which read: “It’s me. Hi. I’m the problem, it’s me.”
The note continued:
“Dear Reader [Ms. Parks], I’m writing to let you know that Maddie won’t be in school on 4/24 because she is going to the Taylor Swift concert in Houston.”
“I hope missing school doesn’t ruin her otherwise stellar Reputation, but she begged me to go and maybe I Should Have Said No but I didn’t want to be Mean. So It Goes…Anyway, I hope this doesn’t leave any Bad Blood between you and Maddie and that things for the rest of the year are not Treacherous.”
Vladeck finally added, “I know I Did Something Bad and I promise this will be The Last Time she has an unexcused absence before the Cruel Summer starts. Forever & Always, -Karen Vladeck”.
The mom captioned the screenshot of her email: “Here’s hoping my daughter’s 1st grade teacher is a Swiftie.”
Twitter users loved the post, with some teachers even promising that as a group, they were all huge Swift fans.
Vladeck also shared her husband’s reaction to the email, which was a blunt: “Oh my God. Karen.”
Some suggested that the teacher may respond, “I knew you were trouble when you walked in,” or, if she has to set extra homework, “Look what you made me do.”
And if the teacher is really cross… “We are never ever getting back together.”
But finally… we got the teacher’s actually response:
“THIS MADE MY ENTIRE DAY.”
