Seven-year-old Jacob Velazquez showed his appreciation for the “Shake It Off” singer in a YouTube video with a piano medley of songs from her “1989” album. The Miami native and piano-playing prodigy has appeared on Good Morning America, The View and more, and is even recording his debut album.

How sweet, not to mention impressive.
Velazquez was diagnosed with a form of high-functioning autism when he was 4, but that hasn’t stopped him from pursuing his gift of music. “I hope we can jam and I can play something for you and it goes something like this”.
On Wednesday, Swift retweeted a post from the organization Autism Speaks that featured the awesome clip.
Autism Speaks also shared their gratitude for the star, writing: ‘@taylorswift13 @JacobsPiano Thank you for offering Jacob this wonderful opportunity! “My treat”, Taylor Tweeted.
Unlike other kids who ask for toys or games, the only thing Jacob wants is to meet his idol. His mom tried to downplay the likelihood of that happening, saying “that she has millions of fans who would all love to meet her”.
Taylor Swift has had a slew of unbelievable guests during her “1989” tour and now she’s extended our favorite invite yet!
