Taylor Swift’s incredible act with young fan goes viral

A young fan has been left speechless after getting the chance to meet her idol and being gifted the singer’s hat in a moment of a lifetime.

Taylor Swift's Era evolution from country star to global icon

A young Taylor Swift fan has been plucked from a crowd of almost 100,000 at the Melbourne MCG to meet the singer in an unforgettable moment.

Milana Bruno, 9, was so far back in the crowd on Friday night she and her younger sister could barely see the stage.

“My girls were dancing on the chairs because they were so far back they couldn’t really see her,” Milana’s mother Renato Bruno told the Herald Sun.

During the concert two staff members approached her and asked if Milana was her daughter.

“She has to come with us,” they said.

When she asked why her daughter was being marshalled away, Ms Bruno said the staff member just smiled.

“Trust me, she is going to want to come with us,” she said.

Ms Bruno and her other daughter followed behind Milana as she was led through the crowd of adoring fans towards the stage.

In a heartwarming moment that has since gone viral Milana and Taylor Swift embraced with the young girl giving the singer one of her friendship bracelets in exchange for Swift’s iconic “22” hat.

The pair then had a brief conversation before Swift gushed to Milana: “Awh thank you so much for coming.”

Ms Bruno said she feared her daughters would miss out on the Taylor Swift concert after falling for a Facebook ticketing scam and only receiving tickets on Tuesday, making the moment all the more sweeter.

Swift-mania has officially engulfed Australia, with nearly 200,000 lucky fans witnessing the first two nights of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour at Melbourne’s MCG

Swift has one remaining show on Sunday night in Melbourne before she travels to Sydney, where she will perform four shows from Friday through Monday.

Sydney’s Olympic Park, where Swift is set to perform, is currently being tested for asbestos contamination.

NSW’s environment minister has assured fans the singer’s concerts will go ahead despite the testing.

Ms Sharpe said an initial test found no asbestos but a backup test was being conducted as a precaution.

“We are testing samples but, regardless, we can remove the mulch and remediate in time for Taylor Swift to perform,” Ms Sharpe said.
