Country star Taylor Swift took time out of her busy schedule to pay a surprise visit to a cancer-stricken fan in Nebraska.
The 23-year-old 'Love Story' hitmaker visited the city's Children's Hospital and Medical Center to meet Lauren Hacker, whose parents had reached out to Swift to tell her all about the 10-year-old's plight, reported Femalefirst online.
Hacker's mother and father had also sent the star video footage of their little girl singing a unique rendition of her single 'You Belong With Me', altering the lyrics to reference her battle with acute myelogenous leukaemia.
Detailing the meeting on the family's blog, Hacker's father wrote, "Taylor Swift stopped by Lauren's room at the hospital around 1 pm in the afternoon. She spent about an hour chatting with Lauren... (who) played a song on the electronic piano key board that she got for her birthday... Taylor was very impressed".
It's not the first time Swift has made time for her sick fans - in January she enjoyed a long lunch with a 17-year-old cancer sufferer in Michigan.
