How Taylor Swift helped a fan beat rare brain cancer
Two-year-old Lilah just finished treatment for a rare brain cancer, and her story went viral after she called Taylor Swift her "friend" in a video.
Lilah's mom, Katelynn Smoot, kept everyone updated on their journey through tough hospital days on social media.
Swift's donation sparked a massive fan response
In October, Taylor Swift donated $100,000 to Lilah's GoFundMe with the sweet note: "Sending the biggest hug to my friend, Lilah!"
Fans quickly matched her donation, helping push the total over $330,000.
Lilah's mom said this wave of support brought both financial relief and real emotional strength.
Lilah is now cancer-free!
Lilah spent eight months undergoing treatment, including radiation.
Her family's honest updates didn't just help raise money—they also shined a light on rare childhood cancers and showed how online communities can come together when it really matters.
