Ivanka Trump celebrated her daughter's 13th birthday with a Taylor Swift-inspired cake.

"Happy 13th Birthday to my incredible daughter, Arabella! Watching you grow into a teenager feels like a dream," Ivanka captioned the series of celebratory photos via Instagram on Wednesday, July 17 — just four days after her father, former president Donald Trump, survived an assassination attempt.

"Your beautiful singing and piano playing, our unforgettable horseback riding adventures, the strength and commitment you show in your Brazilian jiu-jitsu practice and our special girls-only date nights are moments I will forever cherish," Ivanka, who also shares sons Joseph and Theodore wIth husband Jared Kushner, contInued. "Arabella, you inspire and amaze me every day. You are a remarkable young woman and my heart overflows with love for you. Happy Birthday !"

Among the assortment of photos, the former fashion designer featured two images of the special Swift confection — a white, heart-shaped cake piped with lyrics from the 1989 hit "Blank Space."

"Boys only want love if it's torture," was written across the top of the cake in icing. In one photo, Isabella smiled proudly with the sweet treat in front of her. In another, the cake was cut into while mounds of red jam poured out.

The former first daughter's choice of cake was not only eyebrow-raising because of its lyrics, as some fans pointed out (and namely, their close timing to the shooting), but also because Swift herself has been outspoken against the former president.

"After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? 'When the looting starts the shooting starts'??? We will vote you out in November. @realdonaldtrump," Swift wrote via X (formerly known as Twitter) in 2020.

Despite the 14-time Grammy winner's opposing politics, she does have somewhat of a connection to Ivanka — who is sisters-in-law with Swift's former best friend, Karlie Kloss. (Kloss' husband, Joshua Kushner, is brothers with Ivanka's husband, Jared.)
