What size shirt should I get my mom?

I'm thinking about getting my mom a t-shirt from her favorite artist but I'm unsure of what size I should get her. She doesn't normally wear band t-shirts because 1) they are too expensive to her and 2) the ones she likes are usually online and she doesn't know how to work the internet. So what would be a good size for her? She typically wears blouses she buys at Kohl's, but hasn't had any luck finding any since she's so picky. She wears a 2X, but that is because she likes her shirts loose and long. 

The website states this shirt is unisex and is "Printed on 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton." Do you think I should get an XL or an XXL?

Or do you think I should pass on the shirt and maybe buy her a tablet and try and teach my 71 year old mother about the internet?

Update:

I should mention that this is not her only gift I've bought her. It's just the two of us so we always buy several gifts. So far I've bought her a CD, a season of her favorite TV show, a photo album, a fleece jacket, a new cutlery set, and new pots and pans. I just wanted to buy her a little extra something.

    As a 73 year old, I would say the tablet and the internet lessons would bring her much more happiness. You will be opening up a whole new world for her!

    Unless you have patience , patience and more patience forget teaching her.  You will wind up arguing because things that are simple to you will be hard for her.  Get the XXL.
