Taylor Swift made one of her toughest and youngest fans so happy when she surprised her with a meet and greet at her Nashville show. The reason for the meet up? The 7-year-old fan was accidentally hit by a SUV on her way to another T-Swift show! Get the full story here!Taylor Swift definitely gives back to her fans! Just ask 7-year-old Grace Markel all about that!The T-Swift fan was surprised by Taylor when she was asked to meet her backstage at her recent Nashville show. But wait, why did Taylor want to meet her?
Grace was hit and severely injured by a SUV when she was going to Taylor's show in Chicago a few weeks before. The young fan was reportedly smashed by the vehicle, driven by an uninsured and unlicensed person, traveling 30 MPH when she was exiting a taxi outside the venue Taylor was set to play at that night. Of course, because of her injuries, she was unable to attend the show and actually suffered two skull fractures, a left orbital fracture, concussions and severe road rash. Poor Grace had to stay two days at Children's Mercy Hospital!
To celebrate their little girl's awesome recovery, Grace's parents decided to surprise her with tickets to Taylor's show in Nashville. Little did she know Taylor heard about her story and wanted to meet her!
"Taylor greeted Grace by her name and immediately knelt down and hugged her," Amy Markel, Grace's mother, told People Magazine about her daughter's meeting with the singer.
"She told Grace she had a cold and asked Grace to sing extra loud to help her out."
Aww! How awesome of Tay is that?! She's so cool!
