Taylor Swift is about to be an auntie! The singer had the sweetest reaction after her longtime best friend, Abigail Berard (née Anderson), announced she is pregnant and expecting her first child with husband Charles Berard.
“When the internet says ‘MOTHER’ I feel like this pic is actually what they mean,” Taylor, 34, commented on Abigail’s Instagram on Thursday, July 25.
Along with the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” singer, some of Taylor’s closest friends and biggest fans flooded the comments section to send their well wishes to the soon-to-be mother.
“Omg congratssssss!!!!” Gossip Girl alum Blake Lively wrote, which Keleigh Teller chimed in, “Ahh congrats,” adding a crying emoji. Victoria’s Secret model Lily Aldridge added, “Congratulations,” with five red heart emoji.
Anderson Berard married Charles “Charlie” Berard, a chief technology officer at Celero Commerce, in September 2022. She was previously married to photographer Matt Lucier from 2017 to 2021.
The soon-to-be mom has been a longtime member of the Swiftie universe since before the pop star became famous, as their friendship dates back to their first day of high school.

“I have a lot of friends who do what I do. Either they’re actresses or singers or things like that. But my best friend, Abigail, we met when I was 15. First day of school freshman year we sat next to each other in English,” said Swift during an interview on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Anderson Berard served as an inspiration for Swift’s coming-of-age track “Fifteen” from her 2008 album Fearless.
“You sit in class next to a red-head named Abigail / And soon enough you’re best friends / Laughing at the other girls / Who think they’re so cool / We’ll be out of here as soon as we can,” sings Swift in one part of the song.

“Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday / But I realized some bigger dreams of mine / And Abigail gave everything she had / To a boy who changed his mind / And we both cried,” she sings in another.
Throughout the years, Anderson Berard has shared photos with Swift celebrating the holidays, at parties, and at the Grammys. In May 2023, she supported Swift at an Eras Tour stop in Nashville.
