Taylor Swift Makes Surprise Visit to 96-Year-Old World War II Vet
The singer may have met her oldest fan.
— -- Taylor Swift gave a 96-year-old World War II vet with cancer the ultimate Christmas gift -- a surprise visit.
The 27-year-old music superstar surprised Cyrus Porter at his Missouri home on Monday after a local news station did a story about Porter, known as the oldest “Swifty.” He's even driven to Swift's concerts in St. Louis and Memphis with his grandkids, according to reports.
“It’s a Christmas Miracle!!! Thank you @taylorswift13. My grandpa was so excited!!” grandson Robert Frye captioned a Twitter selfie.
Other posts show Swift checking out Porter’s WWII memorabilia before picking up her guitar and leading his 60-plus children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to acoustic performances of her songs, including her 2014 hit, “Shake It Off.”
Swift has not yet commented on the visit.
