Taylor Swift, Ryan Gosling and More Stars Who Made Fans’ Dreams Come True

The footballer devotes a lot of time to charity: he makes donations, visits hospitals. In 2011 and 2013, Ronaldo auctioned the Golden Boot and Golden Ball and sent the proceeds to children’s charities.

But we remembered a particularly touching story. In 2016, the footballer entered the Portugal-Iceland match with an unusual hairstyle – two shaved stripes on the back of his head. It turned out to be a sign of solidarity with his little fan. Ronaldo paid for the treatment of a Portuguese boy with cancer, and after the operation the child left two scars on his head. In the same place, Ronaldo shaved two lines, supporting the baby.

In September 2018, the actress traveled to Toronto, where she presented the drama Ben Is Back at the International Film Festival, in which she played the main role.

The man’s name is Kenny Santana and he came from Indonesia to meet the actress. Julia came to him and took him on stage. Santana didn’t even imagine he would be standing so close to the star.

The singer not only likes to communicate with fans, but sometimes even comes to visit them. In 2016, Selena surprised Sophie Sanders from Australia and secretly came to her house. Sophie thought she had won the opportunity to record a video for local Kiis radio DJs to play in Gomez. But just while recording a call to Sanders Selena slipped!

Photos have appeared on Taylor’s social network in which a guy proposes to his girlfriend in the presence of a star. Turns out, Anthony and Stephanie met at the singer’s Red Tour gig five years ago. According to the guy, together with Stephanie, they spent countless hours listening to Swift’s songs. That’s why he decided to make an offer at a fan meeting after the concert, and the singer was happy to witness this happy moment.

Last fall, Grinder Coffee owner Gerrard in Toronto held a whole promotion to meet his favorite actor. For 10 days, visitors to his cafe took photos with a cardboard figurine of Ryan and posted photos with the hashtag #ryanneedsgrinder (“Ryan needs a grinder”). Some even began to send the star a map to the restaurant. And it worked ! Ryan Gosling leaned into the institution, drank coffee and spoke to fans. In a conversation with the hostess, the actor admitted that his mother persuaded him to come to Crinder Coffee, which appreciated the creativity of women.

In early 2014, during her performance in Birmingham, Beyoncé saw a girl in the room wearing a party badge. The singer interrupted the concert to congratulate the audience. “I see you have a badge that says you’re a birthday girl. What’s your name? How do you pronounce your name?” Beyoncé asked Shehnaz Kahn, 22, from the stage. Then the singer began to sing, referring to the fan. The girl will definitely remember this birthday for a long time.

During the 2013 Christmas holidays, the model spent all day with cancer-stricken 15-year-old Karina Moreira (@chicbykarina). To do this, the star came to the town of Malden near Boston, where the girl lives. Karina did Giselle’s makeup and she shared her beauty secrets with a fan. “From the moment you surprised me to the moment you left, I was completely shocked that you were with me!” Thank you so much for taking the time to come and be with me!” — wrote Karina on the social network.

The last wish of Gage Garmo, 17, who died in 2015 of cancer, was to meet Eminem. Friends and relatives of Gage launched a #GetGageGarmoToMeetEminem campaign on Twitter (“Introduce Gage Garmo to Eminem”). Soon the hashtag reached the rapper. Having learned that the fan mostly dreams of meeting him, the rapper secretly came to Gage and spent about an hour with the young man. Later, those close to the guy thanked the rapper for brightening up Gage’s final hours. The next day, Gage was gone.

In October 2009, before a show in Tampa, Metallica caught up with 85-year-old fan Margaret Prieb. The musicians discovered their fan through the local newspaper: an elderly lady told reporters how heavy music calmed her down. A year earlier, Margaret was battling cancer and undergoing chemotherapy sessions, listening to Metallica songs at night, distracted from her anxious thoughts.

The band members, without hesitation, invited Margaret backstage before the concert. Each of the band members spent time with her, and at the end of the meeting, the musicians signed the album Death Magnetic for Margaret. “They turned out to be just as I imagined them, very good,” the fan said after the meeting.
