It was Sunday in San Antonio, four-year-old Jalene died. Before her dying, she wanted to “shake off” cancer with star Taylor Swift. The singer had a talk with Jalene by video, and the little girl got her last wish. The family said that Jalene died with her family by her side on Sunday evening.

Jalene got brain cancer last year, after that, she had a list - everything from making a snowman to meeting NBA star Tim Duncan.

One of her other wishes: dancing with pop star Taylor Swift and “shaking off” her cancer. Swift was moved by Jalene’s story and talked by video with the girl and her family.

On Jalene’s Facebook, a message read: “Please in Jalene’s name today especially but always spread her smile to the ones that don’t have a smile on their face.”
