There are about tens of thousands of fans in the stadium during a given Taylor Swift concert, and it might as well be more. And being that one lucky fan plucked from the sea of faces can truly create a moment that will stay forever. Such is the case with all the lucky Swifties, mostly little girls, who are handed the ‘22’ hat straight from the pop star’s hands. Recently, another adorable Swiftie melted hearts with her dance moves, just before Taylor Swift made her day with the iconic hat.

A video recently went viral on X with the girl flaunting some of her best moves as she waited for Taylor Swift during her performance of '22' from the 2012 album 'Red'. The songstress came running to the little girl and greeted her with a hug and “I love you”. Then came the moment when the pop star placed the famous fedora on the girl's head. The entire stadium erupted in cheers for the little Swiftie who looked like a future backup dancer in the making for Taylor Swift.

Swift’s ‘22’ hat has been known to turn dreams into reality for many. Ally Garner Anderson, who passed away after a five-year battle with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, received the famed fedora last year. Three days after her passing, her mother, Patty Garner Anderson, shared with PEOPLE Magazine that she "hadn’t seen Ally smile and laugh like that in a very long time". Given how much this hat means to little girls, it was no wonder the new ‘22’ fedora recipient was over the moon with excitement in front of the stage.

Not only did she have her day made in the most magical way by Swift, but also managed to bring a touch of sunshine to the internet. 

Taylor Swift fans just saw a star being born right before their eyes

The way the recipient for the ‘22’ hat is chosen at each concert can change from show to show. Sometimes, it is the fans who go all out, campaigning tirelessly by sending emails and trying to get in touch with the insiders. At other times, Taylor Swift simply bestows the fedora upon people she knows personally. For example, when Selena Gomez brought her 9-year-old sister to a show, Swift gave her the hat. Nonetheless, fans cannot help but be amazed by the 'main character energy' the little girl had right in front of Taylor Swift.

They flooded the comments with their amazement at the sheer cuteness she radiated.

Fans somehow got the sense that this little girl is destined to reach for the sky, saying, "She is a star"
