A brand new little hand is wrapped around Abigail Anderson’s finger. 

Taylor Swift’s best friend, who shared she was pregnant earlier this summer, announced she has given birth to her and her husband Charles Berard’s first baby, a son named Bennett. 

“Baby boy decided to join us a few weeks earlier than expected,” Abigail wrote in an Aug. 16 Instagram post, showing a photo of her son’s hand wrapped around her finger. “Our hearts are exploding with love. Welcome to the world Bennett, it’s entirely yours.”

The exciting announcement came just weeks after Abigail—who married Charles in 2022—announced her pregnancy, with a subtle nod to the Eras Tour singer. 

Alongside a photo of the 34-year-old showing off her baby bump and indulging in some cheese crackers, she quoted Taylor’s “But Daddy I Love Him” track, writing, “I’m having his babyyyy…”

And naturally, Taylor—who has been dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce for a year—didn’t hold back from showering her longtime bestie with love in the comments. 

“When the internet says ‘MOTHER,’ Taylor wrote. “I feel like this pic is actually what they mean.”

Other members of Taylor’s inner circle, including Keleigh Teller and Blake Lively, also offered Abigail praises, each writing, “Congrats!”

Evidently, Abigail—who notably inspired Taylor’s song “Fifteen”—and Taylor have found things much greater than dating the boy on the football team, but their friendship has withstood it all. 

And Taylor proved just how far the best buds have come during a Nashville show of the Eras Tour last May, when she played the Fearless track, dedicating it to her “beautiful, redheaded high school best friend,” who was in the crowd. 

During the song, Taylor also added some lyrics to emphasize that while they’ve both grown up, they still have nothing to regret. 

“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,” Taylor sang, touchingly adding, “But that’s alright.”
