Singer Taylor Swift fulfilled the wish of a fan, suffering from hearing loss, by meeting her during her concert here.

Jorja Hope, 12, was reportedly diagnosed with a condition that causes progressive inner-ear hearing loss.

The first thing she said when she learned of the prognosis was: "I won't be able to hear Taylor Swift sing," reports ew.com.

An online campaign launched by her twin sister, Chloe, states that Jorja doesn't know when she might lose her hearing, but it could be as early as next year.

Jorja's one wish was to meet Swift, so Chloe started #HelpJorjaMeetTaylorSwiftSydney to make it happen.

After going viral, the sisters caught the attention of a Sydney radio station, who helped set up a meeting with Swift.

"She was very, very amazing and very pretty. I didn't expect her to be as tall as she was," Jorja said.
