Celebrities talk about loving their fans all of the time, but Taylor Swift really loves her fans! And her latest interaction with one devoted fan just proves how much she cares about each and every one of them.
On Mother's Day, a fan named Kaileen messaged Swift on Tumblr admitting she "could really use a hug."
"I can’t spend this day with my mom because she's in heaven," Kaileen explained. "Last January, my mom passed away and a piece of my heart left with her. My mom was my best friend, the one I laughed with, the one I cried with, and the one I loved with my whole heart. For a while, I felt empty."
The fan went on to explain that Swift's music "filled that hole."
"You took me out of my sad place and made me happy. And because of you, I got through something that was the hardest thing in the world for me. Today's going to be another hard day, but I know with you on my side I can get through anything. I love you," she wrote.
The "Shake It Off" singer, whose own mother is battling cancer, quickly responded with a heartfelt and inspiring message.
“Kaileen- I love you so much and can’t imagine what you must be feeling today. You’ve lived through my worst fear. I’m so sorry you can’t spend today with her. It’s not fair, and there’s no reason why you should feel okay about it. No one should ever expect you to feel normal today. I admire and respect your ability to put forth such a sunny, sweet disposition when you’ve been through something so dark and tragic so recently. I never would’ve guessed by your attitude or your posts. I never would’ve known if you hadn’t told me. Sending you a huge hug today.”
Earlier this year, Swift reveled that her mom Andrea Finlay, had been diagnosed with cancer.
"She's got an important battle to fight," Swift wrote. "Thank you for caring about my family so much that she would want me to share this information with you. I hope and pray that you never get news like this."
