Why does Taylor Swift hold a pen like this?

I have been a Swiftie since I was a kid, and I think that everything Taylor Swift touches turns to gold, but every time I see how she holds a pen, I am totally freaked out.

I have been LOVING watching these videos of Taylor visiting the children’s hospital in Kansas City. While she was there, she signed a ton of autographs and wrote notes for the kids and their families. This is when I was reminded how she holds a pen.

I have looked it up online, and apparently holding a pen that way helps with hand pain and helps prevent cramps.

I tried, and I can’t do it!
