Ed Sheeran surprises fan in Texas

Taylor Helland, 19 years old from Arlington, Texas and a sophomore at Texas Christian University, is a true Ed Sheeran fan. When Ed stopped through Texas during his tour, Taylor got the surprise of a lifetime. Not only was she able to see one of her favorite singers perform (enough of a thrill already), she was treated to the backstage tour of a lifetime, the chance to meet Ed and take a selfie with her hero. Ed also sported a “Pray for Tay” bracelet during his show that night.

This opportunity was made possible by Taylor’s oncologist and Teen Cancer America partner Dr. Albritton and Teen Cancer America Executive Director Simon Davies.

Take a look at what Taylor’s family had to say about the experience here.
