Taylor Swift has once again shown her generosity by lending a helping hand to one of her youngest fans.
The singer-songwriter recently made a $100,000 donation to support the parents of two-year-old Lilah, who is battling stage 4 brain cancer.
Lilah’s diagnosis came after she suffered a seizure at just 18 months old, prompting her family to launch a GoFundMe campaign in March to cover medical expenses.
Swift’s attention was drawn to Lilah’s story after her mother, Katelynn Smoot, posted an emotional video on TikTok via her account “Stand with Lilah.”
In the clip, the toddler is seen lovingly calling the hitmaker her “friend” while listening to her new album.
@standwithlilah I cannot say thank you enough. I’m truly in shock. This means we don’t have to worry about anything other than Lilah. Truly such a blessing. Thank you @Taylor Swift
Touched by the moment, Swift made her donation on October 17, writing a personal note that read, “Sending the biggest hug to my friend, Lilah! Love, Taylor.”
Katelynn has shared that her daughter has always found comfort in Swift’s music. “I listened to Taylor my whole pregnancy and then birthed a mini Swiftie. Lilah loves Taylor’s music and during her cancer treatment she always found joy in it,” she recounted.
“I hope Lilah gets through this diagnosis and gets to one day go to a Taylor Swift concert in person. I know she would love it.”
