MARPLE - Taylor Swift may have more than 45 million friends on Facebook and 31 million followers on Twitter, but only one of them was asked to go backstage Friday night and meet the country music idol.Eleven-year-old Aimee Hurlock was invited behind the curtain before Red Tour 2013 at Lincoln Financial Field to embrace the 23-year-old singer-songwriter. As other concertgoers were merely entering the gates, hoping for a glimpse of the star, Aimee expected to be showing her "Taylor Swift 13" nail art to its namesake."I think I'm her biggest fan," she said hours before the event. "I think it's just going to feel so amazing when I finally get to give her a hug."Aimee's VIP pass was compliments of the Philadelphia Eagles and A.I. du Pont Hospital for Children, where she was a patient following her diagnosis of leukemia in August 2012. The success of her treatment will allow her to enter sixth grade this fall at St. Anastasia School in Newtown Square, said her mother, Adriana.The concert was not her first Taylor Swift event and during her hospital stay, Aimee never stopped thinking about the possibility of a meeting.Working with the music therapist, she prophetically recorded the words that ultimately came true."I'm standing there and I was excited when I saw you," sang Aimee. "I kept hoping maybe you could get to me."
