In an interview with ST, the younger fan mentioned, “I gave [Taylor Swift] a friendship bracelet that claims 22. I informed her, ‘I like you’, and she informed me, ‘I like you’, too. I hugged her and a little bit of her hair went into my mouth. It tasted a bit salty due to her sweat, however I don’t care in any respect.”
