Taylor Swift Donates $50K to 11-Year-Old With Cancer
No one takes care of their fans quite like Taylor Swift.
The 25-year-old singer managed to outdo herself after learning about 11-year-old fan Naomi Oakes, who was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia on June 25. The little girl was planning to attend Swift’s August 18 concert with her best friend in Phoenix, Arizona, but plans changed after her diagnosis. Instead, she’ll be spending that time — and the 6-9 months around it — in the hospital facing aggressive treatment.
As she preps to face the cancer head-on, she’s chosen Swift’s “Bad Blood” as her fight song.
Naomi’s family made a video telling her story and, with the help of Taylor Nation, just two days after it was uploaded to YouTube, the “Shake It Off” singer donated $50,000 to Naomi’s GoFundMe page writing, “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."
But it doesn’t end there: Naomi’s family documented the moment she saw the sweet message for the first time, and it’s a tear jerker. Check out the video to see Naomi’s reaction and tune in to The Insider With Yahoo on TV tonight for the latest in entertainment news.
