Taylor Swift Meets Viral Video Superfan
Kansas native Dylan Barnes appeared on Ellen Degeneres' U.S. TV program last Friday (18Sep15) to repeat the moves he pulled to Swift's hit in a video which was viewed more six million times on social networking site Facebook.com.
Barnes was gifted tickets to the singer's show in Kansas City on Monday (21Sep15) by the TV host, who hoped he would be able to go "backstage to meet Taylor."
The Bad Blood hitmaker arranged a meeting and she later shared a video on Instagram.com showing herself dancing with Barnes.
She captioned the footage, "Finally got to meet Dylan, the 7-year-old who passionately danced to Shake It Off on Ellen - and this happened."
The young boy's mother, Mojdeh Barnes, later tweeted her thank to the singer, writing in a post on Twitter.com, "Thank you @taylorswift13 for making... dreams come true! You are a class act! #shakeitoff #TaylorSwift."
