A Taylor Swift fan has ignited uproar after she revealed her plans to sell what appears to be the pop star’s birth announcement, with many accusing her of ‘cashing in’ on the singer’s name.

Taking to Facebook, social media user Meg DiPiano explained they had stumbled across the letter in its original envelope, which bore details of the chart-topping artist following her birth on December 13, 1989.

The adorable announcement – written in the style of a stock certificate – included two pictures of the songstress as a baby surrounded by stuffed animal toys.

It also revealed that Taylor, now 34, weighed eight pounds and four ounces at birth, and had a height of 21 inches.

Taylor’s parents, Andrea and Scott, penned a sweet message too, which poked fun at Scott’s job as a stockbroker at the time.

It read: ‘Pursuant to the hostile takeover and subsequent merger of Andrea Finlay and Scott Swift in February, 1988, this spinoff is blue-skied in Pennsylvania and Texas, stabilizing procedures unnecessary.’

Meg posted her findings to a group dedicated to Eras Tour Swifties, in which she asked whether anybody would be interested in purchasing the treasure from her.

Alongside the snaps, she wrote: ‘My grandmother worked for Taylor Swift’s father in Wyomissing, PA. When my grandmother passed, we found Taylor’s birth announcement in her desk in the original envelope. Is anyone interested in buying this?’

The post went viral on X, formerly known as Twitter, with many then questioning why the keepsake was being sold in the first place.

One user wrote: ‘Why is this person selling this instead of trying to get it to Taylor, her team or Andrea??? This is just odd…’

Another said: ‘I’m also in this group and I saw this… SO weird to try and market on something that is NOT hers to market. Is that an official document?’

Echoing a similar sentiment, a third wrote: ‘It’s really sad that Taylor’s name is like a giant dollar sign nowadays. People have no common decency anymore.’

However, others were less critical.

Taking to Facebook, she asked whether any fellow Swifties would be interested in buying the birth announcement

‘Maybe this person really needs the money,’ one suggested. ‘It’s completely harmless to sell it.’

Another added: ‘It’s just a birth announcement. I’m sure they have copies of it they kept.’

This isn’t the first time Taylor’s fans have been angered by a fellow Swiftie for flogging keepsakes.

In June, a fan came under fire for selling a bracelet that she claimed the popstar’s mom gave her at an Eras Tour concert.

After being online for less than 24 minutes, the bracelet sold for $200 – much to the annoyance of Swifties.

‘Who would want to be buy that? Like honestly it means nothing if it wasn’t GIVEN to you,’ another person posted.

‘That’s so sad to me,’ someone else wrote.
