Tragedy as Taylor Swift fan dies days before her 10th birthday – after going viral while attending pop star’s Sydney concert

The brave nine-year-old Perth girl who captured hearts at Taylor Swift’s concert in Sydney has died.

Scarlett Oliver, who battled a serious form of brain cancer known as high-grade glioma, became an internet sensation after sharing a heartfelt moment with the pop superstar during her performance.

Her father, Paul, shared the sad news in an emotional Instagram post, expressing his deep sadness and the void left by his daughter’s death.

‘My Angel, so strong, so brave, so beautiful Nothing will ever be the same again. Don’t forget me and please find a way to let me know you are doing well. Good night honey, I love you – daddy. It’s just not fair,” his post read.

Scarlett’s journey into the spotlight took place when she attended one of Swift’s sold-out concerts at Sydney’s Accor Stadium in late February.

During the opening night of Swift’s three-show stint in Sydney, Scarlett was chosen to take part on stage during the performance of Swift’s hit single 22.

However, the weeks following this joyful meeting were fraught with health problems for Scarlett.

Earlier this month, her father announced on social media that Scarlett was not doing well, indicating she still had “weeks rather than months” to go.

He described the challenges she faced, including complications with a feeding tube and extreme fatigue, which led to a significant seizure shortly after she was discharged from the hospital.

“Scarlett received a ‘wish’ from the Make A Wish Foundation and her wish was to meet Taylor Swift,” Natalie wrote in the post.

“Unfortunately, they told us this wasn’t possible, so through the power of social media and some generous people, we made it possible to attend the concert and received tickets.”

She then shared a photo of Scarlett, who has only 12 to 18 months to live, holding a poster that read, “Taylor, can I please have the 22 hat?”

Later during the concert, the young girl’s wish was Taylor’s command.
