13 Things Taylor Swift And Your Grandma Have In Common

13 Things Taylor Swift And Your Grandma Have In Common
|

Taylor Swift is a 23-year-old superstar, but she might have more in common with your grandma than with an average college senior.

You'll be hard to find the "I Knew You Were Trouble" singer out partying into the wee hours of the night. Instead, she likes making memes of her cat and watching "Law & Order." Oh, and she probably uses her great-grandmother as fashion inspiration -- not that there's anything wrong with that.

Taylor might be 23 going on 85, but she's still the most lovable, youngest grandma we know.

Here are 13 things Taylor and your grandma probably have in common:

1. They aren't afraid to dance like this -- even when everyone's watching.

2. They like the same board games and domesticated animals.

I shouldn't read into the fact that my family got me a new scrabble board (the one that swivels!) &cat treats for Christmas, right? Am I 85?

3. They both like telling you about the good ol' days. Grandma talks about 1943, and Taylor talks about when she was 22.

4. They use funny faces to show you how they really feel about your boyfriend.

5. Both enjoy a good sing-a-long every now and then.

6. "Law & Order" is always on their much-watch lists (though grandma doesn't have a People's Choice Award for company).

Sitting here with my new People's Choice award and Chinese food take out, watching Law and Order. Thank you for a beautiful night:)

7. Same pajamas? Yup.

8. You're pretty sure each had a bad girl phase.

9. Their love for Shirley MacLaine knows no bounds.

We dressed up full-time fancy and went out in celebration of Shirley MacLaine's birthday. @diannaagron @asha instagr.am/p/J1ZxlFjvOS/

10. Grandma and Taylor are both pretty easy to surprise.

11. A "thumbs up" is their favorite seal of approval.

12. They take time to enjoy the simple things in life.

13. Grandma is always there for you. We're sure Taylor would be, too.

Swift wears a white halter-style dress just like Marilyn Monroe's dress in "The Seven Year Itch." Monroe passed away a half-century ago this week, a murky death that remains one of Hollywood's most tantalizing mysteries. But look around: Her legend lives on, more vibrantly than ever. In a twist she surely would have appreciated, this 1950's bombshell has become a 21st-century pop culture phenom. (AP Photo/Dan Steinberg, File) (credit:AP)
