Taylor Swift has, once again, come one step closer to being Superwoman. As if we needed another reason to love the Reading-born megastar, Ms. Swift showed her charitable side by surprising a Pennsylvania woman with a shower of gifts, including one very special token.

Rebekah Bortniker of Berks County recently took to her Tumblr, voicing concern about re-paying her student loans. Bortniker was one of many Swift fans who was, well, stalked by Swift herself, and received a box full of holiday gifts from the singing superstar. In Bortniker’s case, Swift sent her artwork that she painted, plus a check for $1,989 (the title of Swift’s latest album is 1989, named after the year she was born).

Lucky enough for us, Bortniker’s mother was able to capture the gift-opening glee on film. Take a look at the YouTube clip below to see Rebekah opening her Taylorific surprise. And, should you wish Ms. Swift to stalk your social media, use hashtag #Taylurking.
