Taylor Swift's latest album is touching everybody, including your local traffic reporter.

Laura Hettiger provides traffic coverage for KMOV St. Louis. On Friday, Hettiger decided she would spice up her coverage by sprinkling in lyrics from Taylor Swift's newest album, Reputation.

No matter how you feel about Taylor Swift, you've got to stand behind this wordplay.

Swift was so touched she even retweeted the broadcast.

Let's all enjoy this completely benign mass culture moment together.
