Taylor Swift Gave "22" Hat to Young Girl With Cancer

Taylor Swift has the sweetest tradition on her Eras Tour that continues to touch hearts around the world. During the Red portion of the show, Swift sings her famed song (and frequent Instagram birthday caption inspiration) "22," wearing a white oversized shirt, sparkly hot pants, fishnet stockings, and a black fedora, which she gives to one lucky pre-selected fan in the crowd. At a recent performance in Sydney, Australia, the singer passed her hat to a young fan with cancer in a now-viral video that will definitely tug at your heartstrings.

At the Feb. 23 show, Swift sweetly gave the hat to 9-year-old Scarlett Oliver, who is battling brain cancer. In a video shared to Instagram by Scarlett's stepmother Natalie Oliver, the young fan excitedly waits at the end of the stage and lights up as Swift walks down the long runway to give her a hug and place the hat on her head. Swift then grabs both of Scarlett's hands and kisses them before she mouths, "Love you!"

"Thank you so much for making Scarlett’s dream come true!! To everyone who shared her story to help us make this happen we are beyond greatful!!! Scarlett is on top of the world right now!! ❤️❤️," Natalie wrote alongside the Instagram. "I’m so emotional and happy this morning 😭😭."

Natalie opened up about Scarlett's touching story in a post shared to X (formerly known as Twitter), explaining that she was diagnosed with an incurable form of brain cancer called high grade glioma.

"Scarlett is a 9-year-old from Perth, and she was diagnosed in October last year with a high grade glioma — this is a very aggressive brain cancer with no cure," she wrote, per a screenshot from the platform. "The prognosis given to us was 12-18 months from diagnosis. She has been an absolute warrior through surgeries, radiation and other treatments (all done to try and prolong her life.)"

Swift has been known to have a generous spirit, especially when it comes to her fans. Just last month, Swift donated to a GoFundMe page benefitting the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, who died during the mass shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade. In 2019, Swift also sent money to a fan with stage four bone cancer.
