“This is my mom.

So beautiful,” wrote Cheng’s daughter Meg alongside screenshots of images of her mom in the video.

Cheng re-tweeted it, adding the caption, “I actually made my teenage daughter proud.

Both tweets have garnered nearly 60,000 likes.

So we called up Cheng, who is a Christian singer-songwriter and just recently transitioned into acting.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How did you get cast in the video?

I don’t know why, but I got the job right away.

The audition was really short.

I didn’t know what this was for.

I knew it was a music video, that’s all I knew.

Initially it said for an unnamed male artist so they really kept it under wraps.

Show me your expression, go.”

And I thought, “Oh that was probably it.”

Well, the next day I get a call saying “You got the job!”

At that point did you know what the project was?

So everybody inside, the other actors that were inside, were like, “This must be legit.

We don’t know who it is, but it must be legit.”

We all didn’t know what to do without our phones.

We didn’t even know what time it was.

We were getting our wardrobe and then after that, I went home.

It was a two night shoot…I was the final scene in their shoot.

I had to swear to secrecy for 5 or 6 weeks before the video came out.

But it was so fun.

Were you a big fan of her music?

I love her songs.

I’m older, and I think she has an appeal for all different ages.

My kids like her; they always have.

Sure enough, she really is a sweet person humble and kind and not into herself.

She would make eye contact and ask about you, and just a really nice person.

So no one, including your kids, found out until the video debuted what was their reaction?

They were completely floored.

They were just shocked.

As soon as the video showed on the iHeartRadio awards show, my phone started to go off.

“I think I just saw you.

Is that you?”

And I’m like, “Oh you did.

How did I look?

I can’t see.”

What did you think of the video once you saw it?

I thought it was so lovely.

It’s so classy and different than the last two or three she had done.

Those are fun, but I could tell this wasn’t going to be like that.

Just with the wardrobe and the hotel.

I knew it was going to tell a story.

This is one I’m really proud to be in.

Her dancing has sparked a lot of discussion what do you think of it?

She was dancing with full abandon and just having fun.

To see her dancing so happily and without a care of what people thought, I love that.

Your Twitter exchange with your daughter is so adorable.

How did that come to be and how has it made you feel?

Having a teenager, your parents are dorks no matter what.

I’ve been a singer all this time and she’s seen me perform.

She thought it was pretty impressive that it was Taylor Swift.

That was about it.

She said what she said.

She was as shocked as I was the way people are responding.

Last night, that’s when it really started to blow up.

She was trying to do her homework and her phone was buzzing, buzzing, buzzing with every notice.

One of my goals in life is #embarrassmyteen.

What comes next for you and has this changed anything for you?

I’m so old now.

And whatever purpose God has planned for me and however long I have.
