11 year old battling brain tumor gets the pop star treatment as she records her song and tells hers fans, “I’d like to thank everyone for all the nice things you have done for me, and one day when I’m famous I’ll throw a free concert for everyone. Taylor Swift inspired me to sing and I hope I inspire people, too.”

NORRISTOWN — Amy Hosmer loves Taylor Swift.

From the day she first heard her, Hosmer said she began mimicking her style.

While there are most likely millions of girls across the country who have done the same thing, there’s something that sets Hosmer apart — she was diagnosed with a brain tumor when she was two years old.

Initially, doctors told her parents that it was unlikely that she would live long. However, radiation therapy prevailed and the tumor all but went away.
After a yearly check-up at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) in November, doctors saw that the tumor came back.

But none of that has deterred Amy from following her dream of becoming a singer herself.
