Tissues At The Ready: Taylor Swift Grants Dying Fan's Final Wish

If you were on the cusp of blubbing for whatever reason this Wednesday morning, this is the thing that will push you over the precipice.

Being a global superstar isn't just about prancing about onstage (or tumbling off it backwards.) Taylor Swift  granted a dying four-year-old fan's last wish by speaking to her on the phone for 20 minutes.

The 25-year-old singer made a surprise FaceTime call to Jalene Salinas, who is suffering from an aggressive form of terminal brain cancer, to make the youngster's final dream come true after she expressed a desire to dance with Taylor to her hit Shake it Off.

Thanks @taylorswift13 for taking time to speak to a very special fan. Prayers to Jalene & family #ShakeItOffJalene https://t.co/e2K83nmphg

Speaking to Jalene's mother Jennifer Arriagas during the phone conversation, she said: "I got back from London and I heard about her and it's just unfathomable to have to watch your baby go through this."

According to a USA Today, Jalene was said to be "in pain" and as a result "didn't talk much" to her heroine but she did say "bye and thank you" to the singer.

Jalene's final dream came true after Taylor's fans - AKA Swifties - started a social networking campaign to get #ShakeItOffJalene trending after hearing about her dying wish.

Following the chat, Jennifer admitted she is delighted all of Jalene's wishes have now been "checked off."

She told KENS 5 News: "We can check everything off and as her mom it means the world to me that she got to do and see [everything] and everything is checked off now. It means so much to me that you reached out to us."

God's speed, little one.  

We are all for celebrities using their stardom for good. What do you think of Taylor's kind deed?
