Sometimes, dreams really do come true. For 9-year-old Scarlett Oliver, that dream was getting chosen to receive Taylor Swift’s hat during her performance of 22. If you didn’t know, the singer chooses a fan to gift the hat to at each of her Eras Tour shows. This moment would mean a lot to most people in the crowd, but this especially meant the world to this sweet girl.
At only 9 years old, Scarlett’s has a high grade glioma — this is an aggressive brain cancer with no cure, her stepmother Natalie Oliver says. Make-A-Wish gave them a chance to make one of Scarlett’s wishes come true but, unfortunately, meeting Swift didn’t work out. That’s why, when given the chance to go to one of her Eras Tour shows in Australia, the little girl’s family worked hard to get Swift to notice her.
“I just want her to experience everything in life,” Natalie shares in a Facebook group for the show. “and if anyone deserves a little happiness, it’s her. She deserves the world.”
To aide in their mission, Scarlett made a sign politely asking to be chosen. It seems she made it herself, and it couldn’t be more adorable! Clearly, Swift herself agrees, because this sweet kid got chosen!

Scarlett’s special moment with Swift was caught on camera. In the video, the little girl can be seen anxiously waiting for the superstar as she makes her way down the runway. Both of their faces light up when they see each other. Then, after a much-needed hug, Swift kisses Scarlett’s hands.
“Thank you so much for coming,” Swift seems to say. “I love you.”
As you can imagine, this moment has meant the world to both Scarlett and her family!
“Thank you so much for making Scarlett’s dream come true!!” Natalie shares on Instagram. “To everyone who shared her story to help us make this happen we are beyond grateful!!! Scarlett is on top of the world right now!!”
