Tumblr founder David Karp, the platform's first-ever blogger and current CEO, arrived to a recent Taylor Swift concert wearing a familiar yellow T-shirt.

Karp's shirt was emblazoned with "no its becky," a reference to a viral Tumblr post from 2012 featuring a young Swift. Flash-forward to September 2014: Swift wore a yellow "no its becky" shirt, hilariously acknowledging the joke's existence.

After seeing the "no its becky"-clad Karp at her Santa Clara concert on Aug. 14, Swift wrote on Tumblr that meeting Karp "was everything I ever dreamed it would be." #KarpeDiem.

For the uninitiated, here's the original "no its becky" Tumblr post that started it all:

Swift, 25, also autographed Karp's shirt and this image, writing "DAVID KARP CREATOR OF TUMBLR A.K.A. MY WORLD."

Karp, 29, responded to Swift's glowing remarks with "Yes I’m still wearing it."
