Taylor Swift has made another special fan happy.
On Oct. 21, Wednesday, a cerebral palsy patient from North Carolina named Charli Robertson finally got a chance to meet and personally thank the "Bad Blood" singer, whom she credited for helping her gain her memory back.
"I can't believe it," Robertson, 19, said in an interview with Fox8. The teenage fan had a brief meet-up with Swift backstage before the pop star kicked off her 1989 World Tour performance in Greensboro, North Carolina on Wednesday.
"It was awesome, she even gave me a hug," Robertson added.
In fall 2012, Robertson suffered from such a severe seizure that wiped out her memory. Doctors were about to give up after months of treatment, when one day Robertson's mother decided to play Swift's songs. In an unexpected event, Robertson responded to the pop star's music and suddenly started to get back her memory, according to the site.
"She helped me bring my memory back," Robertson continued. "It's not physically she saved my life but mentally she did."
"I told her 'thank you' and she said she remembered hearing about me and my amnesia," the teenage fan stated, adding that Swift called her "sweetheart."
The "Shake It Off" hitmaker is known not only for her massive hit songs and album tours but also her generosity and special treatment to fans. Apart from engaging in various charitable activities, Swift has also surprised random Swifties by sending them tokens or gifts over the years, which helped boost her popularity further.
Now the "Blank Space" songstress has achieved superstardom status in the music industry. Her immense popularity has allowed her to earn millions of dollars from album sales, concerts and endorsements. Just recently, Swift has grabbed headlines for reportedly earning $1 million a day so far since January, making her the highest paid musician worldwide in 2015.
However, Forbes clarified that while Swift has indeed earned much success this year, reports on the pop star's $1million daily income were not true. According to Zack O'Malley Greenburg, while earlier reports said Swift's 1989 World Tour grossed $280 million in ticket sales, the pop star would only get a third portion of that amount.
In his Oct. 21 article, Greenburg emphasized that one should consider significant expenses necessary for carrying out such a costly event as an international album tour.
