Taylor Swift invites 7-year-old boy with autism to join her on tour

Taylor Swift really knows how to use her fame to make the world a brighter place.

The "Blank Space" singer recently made one little boy's dream come true when she invited 7-year-old Jacob Velazquez to come to meet her at one of her shows.

On Wednesday, Taylor retweeted a video, posted by the advocacy group Autism Speaks, of Jacob playing a medley of songs off her "1989" album on the piano, by heart.

Jacob, who was diagnosed with autism when he was four, is a huge fan of the 25-year-old singer, and his hard work was rewarded when the she sent him a sweet message on Twitter.

"I HAVE to give you a hug for that beautiful piano medley you did!" Taylor wrote. "Please come to a show on my tour and say hi to me? My treat.

Autism Speaks shared their gratitude for Taylor giving Jacob the chance to go to her concert. Jacob also tweeted: "I can't wait to meet @taylorswift13!!! #BestDayEver."

Hopefully, Jacob will get the chance to join Taylor on stage like the (approximately) 7,000 celebs who have appeared with Taylor on her 1989 World Tour so far.

Good job making a little kid's dream come true, Taylor! Keep setting the bar higher for your fellow celebs.
