A Girl Who Is Slowly Losing Her Hearing Got To Meet Her Idol Taylor Swift

Jorja’s ~wildest dream~ came true.

When 12-year-old Jorja found out she was slowly losing her hearing, the first thing she said was "I won't be able to hear Taylor Swift sing".

The Maitland schoolgirl has been diagnosed with bilateral inner-ear loss, and was fitted with hearing aids earlier this year.

Her twin sister Chloe started a campaign on Facebook to help her sister meet Taylor Swift and see her perform during her 2015 Australian tour, before Jorja loses her hearing completely.

Their mother Melissa said the girls understood it was a "very long shot" — but the campaign was picked up by Sydney radio station Nova 96.9, who organised for Jorja and Chloe to meet Swift, surprising the girls with the news in mid-November.

Last night, Jorja got to meet Taylor Swift herself at the superstar's Sydney concert, attended by 76,000 people.
