Taylor Swift consoled a fan who is grieving for her late mother on Sunday. The 25-year-old reached out to the girl on Tumblr, telling her that she had lived through her "worst fear".

The fan, a young girl called Kaileen, had sent Taylor a message on Tumblr telling her that she felt "empty" since the death of her mother in 2014. However she added that Taylor's music was helping her through the dark time.

"Today's going to be another hard day, but I know with you on my side I can get through everything," Kaileen wrote.

"Kaileen- I love you so much and can't imagine what you must be feeling today. You've lived through my worst fear. I'm so sorry you can't spend today with her," Taylor wrote. "It's not fair, and there's no reason why you should feel okay about it. No one should ever expect you to feel normal today."

She continued: "I admire and respect your ability to put forth such a sunny, sweet disposition when you've been through something so dark and tragic so recently. I never would have guessed by your attitude or your posts. I never would've known if you hadn't told me. Sending you a huge hug today. Gonna go get iced coffee and cheers to you. :)"
