Taylor Swift to the rescue! The singer proved once again that she will go above and beyond for her fans—and made a sick little girl’s year.
And it worked! Two days later Swift had seen the video, and went beyond a simple response to her fan: She donated $50,000 to Oakes’s GoFundMe page. Swift, whose mom is battling cancer, also wrote a touching message: “To the beautiful and brave Naomi. I’m sorry you have to miss it, but there will always be more concerts. Let’s focus on getting you feeling better. I’m sending the biggest hugs to you and your family.”
