Here's a phone call that would be hard to shake off.
Chicago's NBC 5 reported that 12-year-old Emily Beazley got the call of her dreams when her favorite celebrity, Taylor Swift, personally called her to chat. Emily has been battling non-Hodgkin lymphoma for several years, and doctors have now stopped treatments, finding them ineffective.
Emily's mother Nadia Beazley said her daughter and Swift spoke for 10 minutes. During their conversation, Emily said the singer's music helped her get through years of painful treatments, and that her favorite song was "Shake It Off."
"The smile on my daughter [is one] I have not seen in a very, very long time," Beazley said. "I could cry."
Swift learned of Emily's condition through fans and family members who reached out to her on social media.
The pop star recently revealed in a heartfelt Tumblr post that her mother had been diagnosed with cancer.
Swift is no stranger to surprising fans, and making their days. She previously invited fans to award shows, replied to their comments on social media and has even sent them elaborate Christmas gifts.
