Taylor Swift has singlehandedly elevated the award show crowd shot with her perplexing dance moves. Her message -- that no one is too cool to dance when Justin Timberlake is performing -- is inspiring.

But we still have questions. Fortunately, T. Swift is a noted Tumblr Queen, and happily answers fan questions as to what the hell she's doing on a regular basis. Swift responds to inquiries about why she's hiking backwards, whether or not her S&M gear is on backwards, why she holds her phone the way she does and why she's squatting on the ground painting paper with nail polish while her supermodel squad watches.

Every move she makes is cause for alarm, so it was only a matter of time that she used her blogging platform of choice to address concerns over her dancing. Even her BFF Selena Gomez is publicly mocking her at this point.

This dance move was specifically called out for being confounding, both to fans and Ed Sheeran:

So, there you have it. The litigious Swift probably has her team of lawyers securing the copyright to Mom-Croon right now, so don't waste your time screenprinting t-shirts to sell on Etsy.

If you're taking requests, Taylor, please coin a term for whatever is happening here:
