Taylor Swift, Cancer-Stricken Fan Have 'Enchanted' Meeting

Facebook

Taylor Swift spent time Saturday (Jan. 19) granting the wish of a 17-year-old fan who has spent the last year battling brain cancer. Since December, Kayla Kincannon's (pictured above) family, friends and sympathizers have been tweeting, posting on Facebook, and emailing anyone associated with the music industry, in hopes to setting up a meeting between the brave high school student and "Fearless" singer. This past weekend, that dream came true when Kayla flew to Tennessee to have lunch with Taylor and her mother, Andrea Swift.

"This was no quick meet and greet photo opp," Kayla's father Brad writes on his daughter's blog. "We sat and talked to Taylor and her mom for two hours, had lunch and Kayla received a gift basket, then [Taylor] 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!"

According to Kayla's family, the meeting with Taylor came to fruition through the help of the Michigan teen's friends and social media followers, who were persistent in getting word to the superstar.

"Cannot believe I just had lunch [with Taylor Swift] today, I was enchanted to meet you! Lol" Kayla posted on her Twitter page after the meeting.

My daughter & I love her song "The Best Day"..It's a ballad about growing up & time spent with her mother...I just love that Taylor,she does have a kind heart.

Taylor is great person as well as a great singer. I love her music. At the hospital where she was born, only 20 minutes away where I live she donated more books to the Reading Hospital children's wing. I don't like when people say things about her when she has such a nice heart. She's one true star that doesn't act like one. She's a down-to-earth girl.

This is the Taylor I love. She gave a few thousand more books to an elementary school library last week too...but that's Taylor. I suggest people who 'don't like her music' check out the 'little' songs on her albums about growing up, caring for others and Rowan, that she wrote for a child who died of cancer, Unlike Beyonce who took two million from murdering Mummar Kadaffi for a private show, and grudingly gave it to charity when she was exposed at the start of the Lybian revolution. Oh, and that 'Bama guy had her sing the national anthem... WFT?

Aww! Taylor is so sweet. I don't like some of her music but she is a nice person who uses her celebrity to help others.
