Kennedy Coke was born with a rare genetic condition that increases her risk of developing tumors, which can sometimes be cancerous. Battling cancer for the third time at only 10-years-old, her mom, Jodi Hill Coke, wanted to do something to lift her daughter’s spirits. Kennedy is a huge Taylor Swift fan and it’s her dream to see her in concert, but tickets to her concerts can run into the thousands, so a family friend set up a crowdfund, which has already raised more than $16-thousand to make that dream a reality.
In a heartfelt moment shared on social media, Jodi surprised Kennedy with tickets to the “Eras Tour” stop in Indianapolis on November 3rd, Taylor’s very last U.S. show date. The tween is overjoyed about getting to see her and is excited about picking out an outfit to wear. The concert date also happens just after Kennedy finishes her initial 12 weeks of chemotherapy.
The video, which has been viewed more than 200-thousand times, received hundreds of comments from other Swifties wanting to know how they can help. Some want to help pay for Kennedy’s concert outfit, others want to send her friendship bracelets, and dozens of comments call on the singer to give Kennedy the “22” hat, an autographed black fedora that Swift gives to one fan at each of her “Eras Tour” concerts.
