An 8-year-old girl was recovering from devastating burns in a hospital in Phoenix, Arizona, when she received a surprise visit from Taylor Swift.
The pop star came without notice on May 5 at the Arizona Burn Center to see Isabella McCune, according to The Arizona Republic.
The McCune family had earlier sent a video on May 2 which featured Isabella asking Swift to visit her because she couldn’t leave the hospital for Swift’s upcoming concert the following week.

Isabella suffered third-degree burns over 65 percent of her body from a fire that erupted at a neighborhood party on St. Patrick’s Day in March, according to her family.
Swift signed autographs and gifted Isabella with a bag of merchandise from her concert tour. She also wrote in Isabella’s journal.
“Isabella! I hope you feel better soon and I’m so honored you’ve been listening to my music. You’re so awesome and I can’t wait to have you at a show!! Stay strong, gorgeous. Love, Taylor.”
Even though hugs sometimes hurt for Isabella, she asked for one from Swift.
