American superstar, Taylor Swift, surprised a four-year-old, terminally ill girl with a call via FaceTime earlier this month. Swift's chat with Jalene Salinas, that lasted about 20 minutes, gave Jalene a renewed strength to continue battling her terminal brain tumors.

MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - One of Jalene's final wishes was to be able to physically enjoy and dance with Taylor to her hit song, "Shake it Off."
Even if the two were not able to dance, Jalene still referred to the event as the best moment of her life.

Taylor Swift's attention was caught with the twitter hashtag #ShakeItOffJalene. The tweet has been retweeted by thousands of users, who became successful in helping Jalene when the hashtag became a worldwide trend.

"I'm so sorry you're having a bad night. I'm so happy to talk to you though and I'm so happy you like 'Shake It Off.'" Swift told Jalene. "You look beautiful tonight, you really do. You're just as pretty as your pictures."
Jalene has been battling an assertive form of terminal brain cancer for several years now, but for a few minutes, her life was a blast because Swift took the time to grant her wish.
