“Someone told me you’re about to finish your Ph.D! I wanted to congratulate you on this incredible accomplishment and to applaud you for all the hard work you’ve put into your studies,” Swift wrote. “This is EPIC!!”
The 30-year-old pop star also thanked Mooney, who is gay, for being a fan. “I’m also so proud of you for the bravery you’ve shown in your personal life, choosing to live and love honestly even when it isn’t easy,” wrote Swift.
Thank you to my best friend @RLB_1 (and @treepaine) for making this happen and proving that at least I did one thing right #taylorswift pic.twitter.com/k7xsrcM05K
