Cancer patient sees Taylor Swift in concert after purchasing 'Eras Tour' tickets past her ‘prognosis’ date

A woman fighting cancer attended Taylor Swift's "Eras Tour" in the U.K. after pushing through a tough week of seizures and illness. Her husband said it was a bucket-list moment.

A woman was finally able to "shake it off" after attending "The Eras Tour" and seeing superstar Taylor Swift perform live. 

Cancer patient Laura Mahon, 31, was given just one to two years to live after she was diagnosed in 2021 with an inoperable glioblastoma multiforme brain tumor, per the patient’s GoFundMe page.  

Mahon had been struggling to walk, was experiencing severe nausea and had sensitivity to light.

At the time, the U.K. resident was 27 weeks pregnant.

Just three weeks later, she gave birth to a 3.4-pound baby girl named Sienna Mahon. 

By Dec. 2021, just a month after her baby was born, Mahon said on her GoFundMe page that she was given a year to live due to the size and location of her brain tumor.

Last year, however, when Mahon found out Taylor Swift would be stopping in Liverpool on "The Eras Tour," she decided to buy tickets for the June 13, 2024, show. 

Mahon’s husband, Daniel, took to Instagram the week of the show and gave an update on how the pair made it to the concert. 

He said, "Omg, we got her here, we are actually here. After 50 seizures over three days and a week on ward, Laura is getting to see Taylor Swift live."

"This has obviously had some effect on her," he said in the Instagram caption. 

"Currently, her walking and [the use of one] arm has gone, but [we] got it back before and we’ll do it again," he wrote.

Daniel Mahon revealed how much his wife was looking forward to the concert — and that it gave her something to focus on during her treatment. 

He added, "She sets milestones to get to, and although most [of them] are around seeing [daughter] Sienna grow up, getting to see Taylor live was up there on her bucket list."
