A World War II veteran in Missouri got a Christmas present he will never forget.
Taylor Swift surprised 96 year-old Cyrus Porter when she arrived at his Missouri home Monday night, thrilling him and 60 of his relatives by performing some of her hits in a visit that lasted over an hour.

Possibly Swift’s oldest fan, Porter has seen her in concert twice and hopes to add another show in the near future.

“I’ve been to two concerts. Memphis and St Louis. Look what she does… she puts on a show no one else puts on,” Porter told Ozarks First news.
He also admitted that Swift’s music helps him to connect with his more than 20 grandchildren.
“I just enjoyed going to see ’em and her. I would as soon go see her right now as anybody!” Porter said.
