Queensland mother issues desperate plea to Taylor Swift after daughter is hospitalised and unable to attend Eras Tour in Sydney: ‘It would mean the absolute world to a little girl’
A mother has issued a plea to Taylor Swift after her daughter was hospitalised and will miss the pop star’s current Australian tour.
Katie Healy from Innisfail, Queensland took to Instagram over the weekend to explain her eight-year-old daughter Evelyn was flown to Townsville University Hospital last week after suffering from streptococcus pneumoniae and empyema.
While the young girl has been recovering well, it is certain she will miss the Sydney concert.
Katie took the opportunity to reach out to the global megastar as she shared footage from her sick daughter’s hospital room.q
‘If there is any way [Taylor] might be able to find the time to send a little video to Evie, or just a comment on my post, it would mean the absolute world to a little girl who now has to spend her Eras Tour lifetime experience in hospital instead,’ she began.
