A Taylor Swift fan with a tumblr account in the name of Nadia Afkhami paid homage to the 25-year-old music star by restaging all the photos in the “1989” album booklet.

Afkhami posted a collage of the photos to tumblr and said she took the time to do the photos “as a procrastination during finals week.”
She also humbled herself, saying “taylorswift is obviously looking way better than me in these. I tried! Lol.”
Swift took notice, re-blogging Afkhami’s post and giving the young woman a pep talk, as well:
“NADIA THIS IS SO COOL!It must have taken so much work to recreate all of these. Very impressed!! I love your confidence in those photos. Don’t ever doubt or fear that part of you. You are beautiful and you did much more than try. You set out to do something, then nailed it… in your own way, with your own flare. I hope finals went well and that you keep doing creative projects! Will be excited to see what you come up with next.”
Afkhami says in her profile caption that “taylor reblogged and followed on 1/4/15. still in shock! still grateful.”
