Pregnant Swiftie Spots Her Baby Making Taylor Swift’s Signature ‘Heart Hands’ in Sonogram… 🫶

A pregnant Swiftie learned some exciting news from a routine visit to the doctor: her daughter is looking like a Taylor Swift fan too!
Marie Smith spotted a tell-tale sign of her baby’s music taste during her 12-week ultrasound. Her little one’s hands were curled into a heart symbol, just like the iconic gesture Swift makes on stage.
The 27-year-old tells PEOPLE she couldn’t believe her eyes when she first noticed her daughter’s pose in the sonogram. In fact, she waited to say anything until the doctor conducting the ultrasound pointed it out first.
“I was like, ‘Oh my God, I’m so glad you said something. I wanted to make sure I was seeing it right. But I’m the biggest Taylor Swift fan, so I was sitting here dying and I’m so glad you said it,’ ” recalls Smith, whose daughter is due to arrive in October.
The Baltimore-based mom certainly fits the description for Swift’s biggest fan. Smith was in the seventh grade when the country-turned-pop star dropped her debut album, and she’s stuck with Swift through every era since.
Last summer, Smith — who is already mom to 17-month-old Nashton — took her 8-year-old cousin to see The Eras Tour in Pittsburgh. She tells PEOPLE she worked a second job and saved up money for months to attend the record-breaking concert.

Another TikTok user noted how the “lil Taylor tot” is “getting ready for a future concert.” Smith tells PEOPLE she’s hoping this is the case, even though she worries Swift might break from touring after wrapping her current career retrospective.
“Everybody’s saying, ‘She’s done, this will be the last tour,’ ” Smith says. “She has to just do one more. I have to take this kid.”
Whether or not they make it to another tour, Smith is sure that her daughter will inherit her Swiftie spirit. The little girl won’t, however, inherit the hitmaker’s first name.

No, Smith won’t be calling her daughter Taylor, as so many fans have suggested on Facebook and TikTok. She’s already decided on the name Blakelynn, but in true Swiftie spirit, the proud mom has dropped Easter eggs into her two kids’ names.
“I try to tie it in a little bit,” Smith tells PEOPLE. “My son is Nashton, so I like to say that Nash is where Taylor got her start. And then Blakelynn is Blake Lively, [Swift’s] best friend.”
