Less than a week ahead of Christmas, singer Taylor Swift has decided to spread holiday cheer by meeting a fan battling with cancer.

While travelling home for the holidays, Swift made it a priority to surprise her fan Delaney Clements.

"Literally speechless right now! My new best friend (as I call her now ) made a special stop from going home to Tennessee and surprised me and gave me the best present/hug ever!" Clements wrote on Instagram on Saturday afternoon while posing for a photograph with Swift, reports eonline.com.

"Thank you! I love you! Happy holidays!" she added.

"Merry Christmas Baby @delaneyy.bugg," Swift wrote.

Ever since she was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in 2010, Clements has developed quite the following on social media. In fact, thousands shared #DelaneyMeetTaylor on Twitter to grab the Grammy winner's attention.

Unfortunately, Clements's mother Wendy Campbell delivered a somber update earlier this month where she told followers that hospice care was imminent.

"We are so blessed to be surrounded with so many wonderful people who love and care for us and forever grateful for all the support we have received over the past five years," she shared on Facebook.

"Our goal now is to keep Delaney as comfortable as possible and keep her spirits uplifted as she travels on a journey we fought so hard to avoid."
