"[Kids would be like] 'She'll Be' Swift and what if I wasn't a fast runner," Swift joked with Huff.
"Shelby was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia in November 2012," the girl's page stated. "She had a Bone Marrow Transplant October 31, 2013. In January 2014 she developed PTLD (Post Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disease) a form of Lymphoma and Von Willebrand Disease. She is currently at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in NYC receiving a life saving Clinical Trial."
