The Sunbury, Ohio, native attended the July 1 show at Paycor Stadium, where Swift danced down to the front of the stage and handed her the black hat that's part of the singer's "22" outfit.
The brief moment changed Ally's life, her mother, Patty Garner Anderson, told People.
"I hadn’t seen Ally smile and laugh like that in a very long time," her mom said.
The day after the concert, Ally posted her mom's video of the special exchange on TikTok.
"No words to describe what it felt like to be pulled from my seats to the floor. I knew immediately. Taylor was my first concert so many years ago. Honestly such a full circle moment," she wrote in the TikTok's caption.

Patty, who describes her daughter as "kind, loving, fierce," told People that Swift's music "brought light to Ally’s life" during her daughter's years-long battle with cancer.

"As you know Taylor Swift’s favorite number is 13. Ally died on 11/13/23 at 13:40. The 13th day during the 13th hour.”
