Taylor Swift Makes Young Cancer Patient's Dream Come True

(Radio.com) Taylor Swift made a young cancer stricken fan's dream come true by just picking up the phone. According to People, 12-year-old Emily Beazley from Chicago has been battling stage III T-cell lymphoblastic non-Hodgkins lymphoma since 2011.

Recently, after years of chemotherapy, her doctors told her family that her cancer remains aggressive and that there is nothing more they can do. One of Beazley's greatest wishes though, was to talk to Swift, telling reporters earlier this week, "We would be here all day if I told you why I liked her." Knowing this, Beazley's family and friends started reaching out to the 1989 singer on social media, urging her to make the call.

Swift, being the social media savvy star she is, saw the notes and did just that. "The smile on my daughter [is one] I have not seen in a very, very long time," her mother said of the sweet gesture. "I could cry."

Beazley's mom said Swift did most of the talking during their 10-minute call on Tuesday (April 29), telling little Emily how much it meant to her that her music was helping her get through her chemo treatments. Read more here.
