Taylor breaks it down for us.

Twerking is dead. The Whip and Nae Nae are sooo summer 2015. Long live the Mom-Croon!

Taylor Swift has officially named her signature dance move -- you know, the one she always busts out at awards shows when things are getting really intense -- and it couldn't be more perfect.

After a Tumblr user asked, "Taylor this is so important, we need a name for this move," Swift obliged.


“The Mom-Croon - (noun) A dance move invented at the 2014 Grammy Awards. To sway, perform, and sing along to a song in an extremely emotional or sentimental way, possibly incorporating hand gestures. Eyes closed, lost in the music. The way your mom gets taken away by a tune from her high school days, glass of red wine in hand, shuffling around the room as her teenage kids roll their eyes in disdain. Cynics may judge the Mom-Crooners (MC’s as they are commonly referred to in the dance world) as it is a form of dance only perfected by those willing to be absolutely swept away by the feels you get when you hear a certain song. Those who know how to Mom Croon cannot see the eye rolls of haters. They have reached a level of musical transcendence that is hater-proof. Once you perfect the mom croon, you are truly free.”

So what high school-era jam gets Swift mom-crooning?


"Used in a sentence: 'Oh look, Taylor's being embarrassing again– just mom-crooning away in the corner by herself because Sometimes by Britney Spears came on. Oh God. Now she's crying.'"

Us, too, Taylor... us, too.
