This Mom’s Reaction to Her Son's Taylor Swift Gig Will Move You to Tears

Taylor Swift continues to make every fan's dream come true. Out of 400 male dancers, 22-year-old Robert Green landed his dream job as a backup performer for the singer's 1989 World Tour. And like anyone with good news, an emotional Robert called his mother to share the big moment and received the sweetest reaction over the phone. His mom, Sylvia Watlington-Green, can be heard screaming in the call and telling her son that "this is just the beginning," while Robert, who can't contain his tears, laughs and cries.

The dancer called his mother his biggest supporter and best friend in an interview with Today Parents and said, "Two years ago, my mom and I packed up in my 1996 Honda, and she drove me from East Coast to West Coast with just enough money to make it. Prior to this amazing moment . . . I wasn't working as a dancer as much as I had hoped. (After a series of setbacks.) I was in LA with no job, no money, no car — just the support of my mother and my faith." And to add to this celebratory moment, Taylor even shared the video of the phone call on social media, writing, "I feel so lucky to get to perform alongside people who love it this much."
