The heartwarming moment Taylor Swift grants a young girl with terminal cancer a special wish at Sydney concert: ‘The sweetest thing!’

Taylor Swift made a terminally ill nine-year-old girl’s dream come true on Friday.

At the first of her Sydney shows on her Eras tour, Swift chose young Scarlett, who is battling an aggressive form of brain cancer, to receive her signed ’22’ fedora.

Taylor has established a tradition where she gives a signed hat to a lucky fan in the crowd while she sings her song, 22.

Earlier on Friday, Scarlett’s stepmother, Natalie, had posted on social media that her stepdaughter’s wish was to meet Taylor.

“Scarlett was granted a ‘wish’ from the Make A Wish Foundation and her wish was to meet Taylor Swift,” Natalie wrote in the post.

“Unfortunately, we were told this was not possible, so thanks to the power of social media and some generous people we managed to attend the concert and got tickets.”

She then shared a photo of Scarlett, who has been given just 12 to 18 months to live, holding a sign that read: “Taylor, can you give me the 22nd hat please?”

Later in the concert, the young girl’s wish was Taylor’s order.

The singer invited Scarlett on stage, hugged her as she handed him the fedora, and then tenderly kissed her hands.

Images of the moment were shared on social media and many fans expressed joy at the touching scene.

“Sobbing,” one wrote, while another posted a series of crying emojis.

‘It’s the sweetest!! ‘He deserves it so much!!’ said another Swiftie.

“Oh they picked the right Swiftie,” one more wrote, while another declared, “Not even there and my sister and I are crying.”

‘Crying my eyes out. So precious!’ another expressed.

Swift will perform four shows in Sydney from Friday, February 23 to Monday, February 26.
