A Cool Mom Moment
One of the biggest takeaways from Pompeo’s cameo was how much it impressed her children—15-year-old Stella, 10-year-old Sienna, and 8-year-old Eli. She explained how being in Swift’s music video gave her an instant “cool mom” status at home.
“Getting that kind of attention and recognition really scored so much points with both of the girls for a while,” Pompeo said with a smile.
