Over the past few months, Taylor Swift has made headlines on a seemingly daily basis by bringing out surprise guests to join her on stage for a duet.
But the singer spent time on Saturday with a very different sort of special guest.
For the most unfortunate of reasons.
Taylor Rayburn is a six-year old who was tragically diagnosed in late April with a Stage 3 Wilms’ tumor, a rare kidney cancer.
As a surprise, her mother got Rayburn tickets to Swift’s concert in Atlanta over the weekend.
As luck would have it, Rayburn and her mother ended up sitting nearby Swift’s mother, who was also diagnosed with cancer earlier this year.
Andrea Swift therefore went ahead and invited Rayburn to sit with her for a couple of her daughter’s songs… and then she brought the ill toddler backstage!
In response to Rayburn’s disease, a Facebook group called Project Team Taylor has been created and it shared the picture above while including with it the following message:
Since Taylor spent her birthday in the hospital we surprised her this weekend with a trip to Atlanta and Taylor Swift concert tickets.
Our seats happened to be close to where Taylor Swift’s entourage was. Taylor Swift’s mom noticed Taylor and let Taylor sit next to her for a song and at the end of the concert took us backstage to meet Taylor Swift!!!!
Thanks Ms. Andrea, dreams really do come true!!!!
This is not the first time Swift has been there for a cancer-stricken fan.
She actually donated $ 50,000 to a young fan sadly in a similar situation to Rayburn back in July.
Here are a few other reasons why TAYLOR SWIFT IS THE BEST:
