Taylor Swift has had a slew of amazing guests during her “1989” tour and now she’s extended our favorite invite yet!
Jacob Velazquez, a 7-year-old piano prodigy, caught Taylor’s attention with an impressive medley of her songs.
In a blog post on Autism Speaks, Jacob’s mom Tina explained that her son listens to Taylor every day.

“Taylor inspires Jacob to keep striving to be his best. He has asked me how she became so talented and I tell him that she has been practicing for a very long time. He wonders if he will be as talented and have as many fans as she does. I remind him that Taylor Swift’s talent didn’t just happen, she worked very hard and practiced a lot to become who she is today,” she wrote, explaining that she wished there was some way Jacob might be able to meet Taylor.
And then Taylor went and made Jacob’s dream come true!
“@JacobsPiano I HAVE to give you a hug for that beautiful piano medley you did! Please come to a show on my tour and say hi to me? My treat,” Taylor Tweeted.
