A sweet moment between neighbours has gone viral online - and it has even caught the attention of pop superstar Taylor Swift!

He responded by playing Love Story which Madeline happily sang along to from her window.

8-year-old Madeline used a paper airplane to request a Tay Tay song
Madeline's parents shared the video online saying: "Pretty sure we hit the neighbour lottery." And the love was huge!
The video caught the attention of over four million viewers - including Taylor Swift herself!
And her response?
The singer sent Madeline (and neighbour Ethan) a signed guitar and a handwritten note.

Taylor's note said: "I just wanted to let you know that it made me so happy that you asked your neighbour to play my song for you.
"You brought the biggest smile to my face. I'm sending you your own guitar in case you ever want to learn too!"
We can bet that put a smile on Madeline's face as well!
What a love(ly) story.
