‘Fearless’ 3-year-old cancer survivor gifted Taylor Swift tickets to Toronto
Global News
Chiara Langton of Île-Perrot, Que. has been in remission from leukemia and her mother has been trying desperately to get her daughter, a big Swiftie, to a Taylor Swift concert.
It hasn’t been an easy year and a half for Chiara Langton and her family.
The toddler has been in remission from leukemia, and so much of their days have been filled with hospital visits, chemotherapy and appointments.
“We’re still at the hospital every two weeks, still doing chemo at home, we still have trips to the ER if we get fevers and things,” said Chiara’s mother Christine Clogg from their home in Île-Perrot, Que. “So still, a lot going on, but we’re doing a lot better.”
One thing that has helped Chiara through it all is music. More specifically, Taylor Swift’s music.
What started as her mother’s favourite artist, has turned into a full blown obsession for the three-year-old. From mimicking Swift’s outfits, to instruments, microphones, and of course, learning the lyrics to her songs.
Her mother says the music has helped her feel normal, during the most difficult times.
“One of our favourites, which we both have on bracelets, is “I’m a real tough kid, I can handle it,” Clogg said.
“We will sing that one before chemo, we will watch it as we’re getting ready — it’s kind of our hype-up song.”
