Taylor Swift Facetimes With Terminally Ill 4-Year-Old Girl

Taylor Swift has made one special girl’s dream come true.

Jalene Salinas, a 4-year-old girl with terminal cancer, got to speak with the singer on Monday after #ShakeItOffJalene began trending on Twitter and Taylor took notice.

Jalene’s mom, Jennifer Arriaga, put together a list of dreams to accomplish in her short life and posted it on Facebook. The list included dancing to “Shake it Off” with Taylor and her brother Josh.

On Monday, Jalene was feeling sick, but she still managed to meet Taylor via Facetime – and San Antonio news station KENS5 caught the special moment.

 

“I’m so sorry you’re having a bad night, I’m so happy to talk to you though and I’m so happy you like ‘Shake it Off,'” Taylor told Jalene during their Facetime session. “You look beautiful tonight, you really do. You’re just as pretty as your pictures.”

After Jalene and Taylor’s chat, her mom posted on Facebook, “I’m so happy Taylor reached out to Jalene. She was so happy. Thank you Taylor so much.”
