Last night we told you about a 10-year-old Troy girl on hospice whose dream of meeting Taylor Swift was about to become a reality.

Today, Izzy is one satisfied little girl with a big check on her bucket list.

Izzy came face-to-face with Taylor Swift before she performed at Ford Field in front of a packed crowd Tuesday evening.

The meeting was made possible by social media and documented on her blog, Irresistible Izzy.

Last week, a friend put a plea on Facebook asking anyone with a connection to help Izzy, who already purchased tickets to the concert, meet her idol.

The post was shared over 500 times and got into the hands of the right people at Ford Field.

Izzy has complex congenital heart defects, has had multiple surgeries and relies on morphine around the clock – but that didn’t stop her from rocking out at the concert last night.

Follow her journey.
