Imagine getting a phone call from Taylor Swift and then chatting to her for a whole 17 minutes!
Well, that's exactly what happened to superfan Annie McMahon all thanks to her family, friends, the internet and maybe even a magic touch from actor Justin Baldoni.
You see, 22-year-old Annie is living with cystic fibrosis and has already had two double lung transplants. She's too sick to have a third transplant and is now in hospice care.
Her friend Tiff Rich who's also living with cystic fibrosis, posted a video of Annie singing along to Tay Tay in her hospital room asking the singer to get in touch.

As did Annie's dad, John McMahon:
And when Justin Baldoni - who made the teen movie about cystic fibrosis, Five Feet Apart - saw the video, he retweeted it for his millions of followers and tagged Taylor too.
Hey @taylorswift13 - You are amazing & I can’t imagine how busy you are. I know you can’t meet everyone -but this young woman is literally dying to meet you. #CysticFibrosis is a terrible disease & she is too sick for a 3rd transplant. Not much time left. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😭#taylor2annie https://t.co/2J3G62r08g
