Taylor Swift meets fan suffering from cancer

Earlier this month (January 19), country-pop superstar Taylor Swift met up with a fan suffering from brain cancer after an online campaign caught her attention.

17-year-old Kayla Kincannon informed the followers on her social media sites that Andrea Swift, Taylor's mother, had contacted her after seeing all of the posts about her condition and asked if she would like to have lunch with the 'Red' beauty.

Following their meeting, Kincannon took to her Twitter page (January 20) and told her 1,000 followers: "Can not believe I just had lunch w @taylorswift13 today, I was enchanted to meet you! Lol."

Posting about the experience on his daughter's website, Mr. Kincannon explained that Swift took a significant amount of time out of her day to hang out with Kayla and it was very much appreciated, and he also shared a personal photo:

"You guys have no idea how awesome this lunch was! This was no quick meet and greet photo opp. We sat and talked to Taylor and her mom for two hours, had lunch and Kayla received a gift basket, then she signed pictures!"

"She is the sweetest, most down to earth person I have ever met! This was more than we ever expected! I’m so thankful to team Kayla, news, and everyone who made her dream come true! This was the best day ever for her and all of us!"
