He calls himself Taylor Swift's number one fan and he set out to prove it. The piano prodigy put together a 6 and a half minute medley of 7 songs off her "1989 CD and doesn't need sheet music to play it. He does it from memory, due in part to a form of autism. He can play Bach, Beethoven and Mozart but he prefers to play Taylor Swift any day. When mega pop star Taylor swift saw his performance on the Autism Speaks Twitter account, she tweeted it to her 62 million plus followers and Jacob went viral. Swift didn't shake it off there. She even tweeted an invitation to Jacob saying: "I have to give you a hug for that beautiful piano medley you did! Please come to a show on my tour and say hi to me? My treat." Initially Jacob was just hoping Taylor Swift might sign a copy of her CD, but now after that tweet it looks like he is going to get to meet her October 27th when she comes to Miami on tour.
