Jenni “JWoww” Farley, the beloved star of “Jersey Shore,” recently gave her daughter Meilani an unforgettable birthday gift by taking her to a Taylor Swift concert. The special occasion marked Meilani’s 10th birthday, and the mother-daughter duo celebrated in style at Swift’s Eras Tour.
On Sunday, July 14, Farley, 38, shared a heartwarming selfie on Instagram, capturing the joy of the event. In the photo, Meilani is seen flashing a peace sign and wearing Taylor Swift’s iconic “22” top hat, while Farley beams with pride beside her. “We made it baby 🥹 happy birthday my love 💕,” Farley captioned the post.
Farley shares Meilani and her 7-year-old son Greyson with her ex-husband, Roger Mathews. The family dynamic is often highlighted in Farley’s social media posts, showcasing the close bond she shares with her children.
The Taylor Swift concert was a dream come true for Meilani, who has shown a keen interest in her mom’s past fashion choices. Back in March, Meilani humorously critiqued some of Farley’s iconic looks from the late 2000s and early 2010s in a TikTok video. The video, which went viral, featured Meilani comparing one outfit to a fictional dinosaur and expressing her candid opinions on others.
In one memorable moment from the video, Meilani rated a deep purple dress and large hoop earrings ensemble from the 2009 Spike TV Video Game Awards as a “5 out of 10,” humorously likening it to “Barney the dinosaur.” Another outfit, featuring Farley and her “Jersey Shore” co-star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi in Italy, received a slightly better rating of 6/10. Meilani appreciated the t-shirt and bottoms but was less impressed with the map Farley held, calling it “not giving at all.”
Despite the playful roasts, the bond between Farley and Meilani is evident. The Taylor Swift concert was a testament to their close relationship, with Farley going above and beyond to make her daughter’s birthday special.
The concert took place in Milan, Italy, where Farley and Meilani were joined by family members for the fun occasion. Farley’s “Jersey Shore” co-star Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and his wife Lauren also attended the show. Sorrentino shared a group photo on social media, captioning it, “The Situations are in the building #TaylorSwiftErasTourMilan.”
Farley documented the entire experience on social media, sharing a collection of images and videos from the concert. One particularly touching post featured a selfie of Farley and Meilani in the stands, with Farley captioning it, “We made it baby 🥹 happy birthday my love 💕.” She also shared videos of Swift performing “Bad Blood,” capturing the excitement of the night.
Prior to the concert, Farley and Meilani explored several Italian landmarks, making the birthday celebration even more memorable. Farley posted highlights from their trip on Instagram, writing, “Happy 10th birthday to my princess @meilanimathews 👑. Celebrating in Italy with you has been the absolute best! Can’t wait to see @taylorswift together and create more memories 🥹🥹.”
The birthday celebration drew humorous comments from Farley’s “Jersey Shore” co-star Vinny Guadagnino, who quipped, “My mom took me to Burger King on my 10th bday.”
While Farley and Meilani enjoyed their time in Italy, Greyson spent quality time with Farley’s fiancé, Zack Carpinello. Carpinello shared a poolside photo with Greyson, captioning it, “Dudes weekend 🤘🏼💪.”
The Taylor Swift concert was a highlight of the summer for Farley and her family. Swift’s Eras Tour has been a massive success, with fans eagerly attending shows across Europe. In Milan, Swift debuted three new costumes for her Fearless and Tortured Poets eras, as well as a new gown for the Speak Now segment of the concert.
Swift’s tour will continue through Europe, with upcoming shows in Germany, including stops in Gelsenkirchen, Hamburg, and Munich. The tour, which began in March 2023, is set to conclude in December with a final show in Vancouver, Canada.
For Farley and Meilani, the Taylor Swift concert was more than just a night of music; it was a cherished memory and a celebration of their special bond. As Farley continues to share her life with her fans, moments like these highlight the love and joy she finds in her role as a mother.
