Often as a parent, you have to help your children dream while also setting realistic expectations. Sometimes, however, those expectations are blown out of the water and your child gets their dream.
This was the case with TikToker @momlifepartyof4 (Gina) when her 7 year old daughter Bella sent a letter to Taylor Swift during an ERAS tour concert. It was actually delivered back with Swift's signature in the middle of the concert.
First, Gina tried to lay out reasonable expectations so her daughter wouldn't be disappointed.
“She says, ‘I’m gonna bring this to the show and make sure Taylor gets this letter. I was kinda like, ‘I don’t really think that’s going to happen, but let’s try.’”
But then, after handing the note, which included important details like the 7 year old's favorite color and section number for the concert to an usher, a miracle happened.
Midway through the concert, representatives from either Swift or the venue came to their section looking for Bella.
“We were about halfway through the show when some people came to our box and they were asking for Bella. I had actually forgot about the letter by that time."
“They [said], ‘We wanted to give this to you.’ It was the letter Bella gave to Taylor and [Taylor] signed it.”
The mom was clearly grateful Swift's actions fulfilled her daughter's dreams beyond their wildest expectations.
"Taylor if you see this, you made my 7 year old's night, so thank you."
People in the comments wanted to point out the true hero here: the usher who carried the letter.

Several others noted there will be a documentary made of the ERAS tour and perhaps this moment will make it in.
