In a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Welch didn’t hold back when asked about her son’s brief romance with Swift.

Not that I have anything against her, at all, it was just, you know, it was tricky.”

Rather than clapping back with a dramatic lyric or viral social media post, Swift has decided to take the high road.
