Young girl so thrilled to meet Taylor Swift that she can't tell if it's a 'dream or for real'

A six-year-old girl battling cancer has received a special belated birthday present, after she met her idol Taylor Swift backstage at the superstar’s recent Atlanta concert.

Taylor Rayburn, who shares her first name with the popular singer, was enjoying her first ever live music experience with her mum Allison when the pair met Swift’s mother, Andrea.

Andrea then took the duo backstage to meet her famous daughter, with Allison uploading a Facebook post on October 25 alongside a photo of her ecstatic daughter with Swift.

“Taylor and her entourage were the sweetest and most humble people. She is just like you see on tv…I think we were all star struck,” she wrote.

“She left saying, I can’t tell if this is a dream or for real! So amazing!”

The grateful mum also said her daughter had not been able to celebrate her sixth birthday on the day, due to the young girl’s battle with kidney cancer, which she was diagnosed with in April.
