Elizabeth Taylor<\/strong>\u2019s son says his late mother would have adored Taylor Swift<\/b><\/a> \u2014 and he\u2019s thrilled the pop icon continues to honor her legacy.<\/p>\n

In an interview with People<\/i><\/a> published on Wednesday, October 22, Christopher Wilding<\/b>, 70, said he was \u201cdelighted\u201d by Swift\u2019s reference to his late mother in the eponymous track on her Life of a Showgirl<\/i> album.<\/p>\n

In the lyrics, the pop star,<\/a> 35, gives a few nods to the glitzy La Liz, referencing her violet eyes and escapes to one of her favorite places: Portofino, Italy.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe and my mom do seem like kindred spirits,\u201d Wilding told People<\/i>. \u201cThey are both the very embodiment of female empowerment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way [Swift] has deftly captured the similarities and parallel tracks in their careers and personal lives is delightful,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The glamorous Cleopatra<\/i> icon \u2014 who died in 2011 at age 79 \u2014 is the subject of a new Kim Kardashian<\/strong>\u2013produced docuseries, Elizabeth Taylor: Rebel Superstar<\/i>, now streaming on Fox Nation<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n

For all of the \u201cOpalite\u201d singer\u2019s musical fangirling, the late actress\u2019 estate is giving her a nod right back \u2014 by releasing a limited \u201cshowgirl\u201d-themed collection inspired by the song, with proceeds benefiting the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation, per People<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer life has been lived and her time in the spotlight is now over,\u201d Christopher added to the outlet, \u201cbut I hope that who my mother was as a person and the fearless life she led will continue to inspire generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
