Leave it to Taylor Swift to never leave a dry eye in the room. The pop star decided to, in typical Taylor fashion, surprise a super fan by paying a visit during the busy holiday season.
This isn’t just any fan, mind you, but 12-year-old Delaney Clements, who has stage-four Neuroblastoma, a rare type of childhood cancer that is found in the adrenal glands. According to The TODAY Show, Clements has been suffering from the condition since she was 8 years old, and she has recently taken a turn for the worse as the cancer spread to her head.
Clements has made no qualms about the fact that she’s a Swift fan: Her Instagram bio reads: “Taylor Swift is my idol because we both have something in common ~ Living our Wildest Dreams and Shaking It Off in Style.” Her family even started a hashtag, #DelaneyMeetTaylor, in an effort to raise public awareness over both Neuroblastoma and Clements’ wish to meet Swift.
Swift took to her personal Instagram account to post a collage of her meeting with Clements, with the simple caption, “Merry Christmas Baby:”
