The magical moment a young girl finds out she's going to see her idol Taylor Swift while on holiday in Ireland has been captured on camera.
Sunday marks the final day of Swift's three-show sell-out run at Dublin's Aviva Stadium . The popstar has been entertaining crowds of over 50,000 every night and has pulled out all the stops to make it a night to remember.
For one young supporter, who had just landed in from New York , the surprises started early. In a video shared by Dublin Airport online, Bridget, who is sporting a top that reads 'In My Swiftie Era,' is greeted by an airport worker.
The employee , standing in front of a cardboard cut-out of Swift , tells the girl she's got something to tell her before handing the reigns over to Bridget's mom, who informs her she's going to see the Shake It Off hitmaker this evening.
Bridget responds by jumping up and down and squealing in excitement . Her mom asks, "Are you excited?!" to which she replies "Yes!" The airport worker laughs, adding: "This is the best way to land! She can't even speak."
A present is then handed to Bridget's brother and dad who are also joining them on vacation to the Emerald Isle . The airport worker wishes them an "amazing time" and the family head off into the city to prepare for the gig.
The footage struck a chord with people on both sides of the Atlantic . One user commented: "That's like winning the lotto at that age!" A second wrote: "That's brilliant for the girl. I hope she has a fantastic time."
A third scribed: " Precious memories ," while a fourth chimed in: "This had made my heart melt and my eyes teary. Bless her." To view the full video, please click here .
