Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently revealed a touching and humorous moment involving his seven-year-old daughter, August, and pop icon Taylor Swift. During a live interview on the "Acquired" podcast, Zuckerberg shared a conversation that highlights not only the influence of Swift but also the importance of self-confidence
In a heartwarming and candid moment, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg shared a conversation he had with his seven-year-old daughter, August, about none other than Taylor Swift. The exchange took place during a live interview on the Acquired podcast, recorded on September 10, and released this week.
Zuckerberg, who has three daughters with his wife Priscilla Chan, spoke about the importance of being original and shared an insightful moment from his family life to highlight this point. When asked for advice for today’s company founders, Zuckerberg reflected on his daughter’s aspirations.
He explained, "One day, we took August to a Taylor Swift concert, and she told me, ‘Dad, I kind of want to be like Taylor Swift when I grow up.’" He paused for a moment before continuing, “And I told her, ‘But you can’t. That’s not available to you.’”
What came next, though, was an impressive response from his daughter. Zuckerberg recalled, “She thought about it and said, ‘Alright, when I grow up, I want people to want to be like August Chan Zuckerberg.’ And I was like, ‘Hell yeah. Hell yeah.’”
The moment captured the attention of listeners, showcasing not only August’s confidence but also the supportive nature of Zuckerberg as a "girl dad." It’s clear that he encourages his daughters to carve out their own unique paths.
Zuckerberg, who has been open about his admiration for Swift and her music, attended her Eras Tour concert in Santa Clara, California, in July 2023 with his wife and two of his daughters. Fans even spotted the tech mogul rocking a pink T-shirt and gemstones on his face, fully embracing the concert spirit. "Life of a girl dad," he captioned an Instagram post from the event.
Though Zuckerberg and Swift come from completely different worlds-tech and music-the two billionaires share a common thread of having built their own empires and leaving lasting legacies.
As August dreams big, it’s evident she’s following her dad’s advice on originality while being inspired by Taylor Swift’s impact on the world. Fans of both Swift and Zuckerberg loved the story, showing how Taylor’s influence extends beyond her music to inspire young girls everywhere, even the daughters of tech giants
