A video of a mom singing a Taylor Swift song to her baby has gone viral on social media.
The Context
Lucie Fink is a video producer and host of The Real Stuff with Lucie Fink podcast. She has more than 271,000 followers on Instagram, 552,600 followers on TikTok, and 519,000 subscribers on YouTube.
The former TODAY correspondent is married to Michael Morris, and they have two children: son Milo, 3, and daughter Colette “Coco,” 7 months.
What To Know
In April, Fink took to Instagram to share a video of herself singing “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” to Coco.
“She’s a girl’s girl already,” Fink wrote in the caption. She dances and sings the hit tune in the clip while her daughter drinks a bottle.
Text over the video read: “Daddy: ‘Let’s read her Goodnight Moon.’ Me: ‘Let’s make her absolutely unhinged.'”
Fink sang the lyrics, “Were you sent by someone who wanted me dead? Did you sleep with a gun underneath our bed? Were you writing a book? Were you a sleeper cell spy? In fifty years, will all this be declassified?”
“And you’ll confess why you did it. And I’ll say, ‘Good riddance.’ ‘Cause it wasn’t sexy once it wasn’t forbidden. I would’ve died for your sins. Instead, I just died inside. And you deserve prison, but you won’t get time.”
Coco accidentally dropped her bottle during the song and started kicking her legs, appearing to enjoy her mom’s rendition.
At the time of publication, Fink’s post racked up more than 387,000 views, over 10,300 likes, and 116 comments.
Newsweek reached out to Fink via email for comment.
Fink attended Swift’s Red Tour with her father in 2013 and continued the tradition in 2024, taking him along for her record-breaking Eras Tour in Toronto last year, she revealed on Instagram.
During the November 26 episode of The Real Stuff, Fink shared a recap of the concert.
“How do I even explain what this show is like? I think first and foremost, when people hear that you went to go see a concert, I think they have an idea of what it is and what you went to, and all I can say is, this isn’t that,” she told listeners.
“It’s not like you’re going to a concert where there is a person on stage just playing a guitar or playing piano and just singing at you. This is a full-blown spectacle.”
Fink added that “it’s honestly more similar, in a lot of ways, to being at a Broadway show than a concert” because “there are set pieces, the stage moves,” and “the lighting is out of this world.”
