A UK tabloid is learning how to refer to a female celebrity the hard way, thanks to Taylor Swift and her fans.

Swift tweeted a response to OK! Magazine's article about her "pregnancy announcement" -- which was not an announcement, but rather a photo of Swift posing with fans who were pregnant.

Aside from the misleading headline, the article in question referred to Swift (a seven-time Grammy winner) as "Calvin Harris' rumoured girlfriend" and "Harry Styles' ex girlfriend," as opposed to, say, "musician."

A fed-up Swift tweeted at the magazine in response.

@OK_Magazine this misleading headline and your choice of words in labeling me are why we need feminism in 2015. pic.twitter.com/x6sLT8IKx9— Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) June 20, 2015

The pregnant couple who posed with Swift also responded to OK! Magazine's article.

Wow Didnt think my Baby announcement would do this Sorry @taylorswift13 guess no good deed goes unpunished! #BabyRas pic.twitter.com/Srfxmryv60— Jesse Rasmussen (@JesseRas) June 20, 2015

And of course Swift sent the couple a handwritten letter after posing with them, because that's just her style.

As if my day couldn't get any better. Just got this from Thank You/Congrats Card from @taylorswift13 #Thankful pic.twitter.com/4QV4rKs5RV— Jesse Rasmussen (@JesseRas) June 19, 2015
