Experience the magic that Taylor Swift recently shared with two of her young fans. During a concert at Wembley Stadium in London, the 34-year-old pop star invited two children affected by the July 29 stabbing incident at a Swift-themed yoga class in Southport, England, to not only attend her concert but also meet her backstage.

Their mother, Sami Foster, shared the heartwarming experience on TikTok, posting a montage of photos of her family with Swift. In the caption, she poignantly quoted lyrics from Swift’s song Cardigan from her 2020 album Folklore: "You drew stars around my scars."

Posted on August 18, Sami Foster expressed her gratitude to Taylor Swift and her mother, Andrea Swift, for creating a magical night for her daughters, Hope and Autumn, during a challenging time. She appreciated them for bringing joy to her family.

The TikTok video features a sweet photo set to the melody of Swift’s song Enchanted from the Speak Now album.
