Taylor Swift once again surprised a superfan by the name of Rebecka Bortniker by sending a package which consists of a watercolor painting done by the singer, a necklace and a personalized card with her own handwriting in it. The present came along with a cash donation of $1989, a figure resembling her album 1989, to pay for Bortniker's student loan.

According to USA Today, the Shake It Off songstress was inspired by a video that Bortniker posted on Youtube containing images of the singer and her girlfriends. The video, uploaded in January 9, also used the theme song of Friends as its background music.

"Hi you! I was thinking about you today and how you've been there cheering me on in the most thoughtful and creative ways. I really really really really hope you like it. I'm not a good painter but I think you're so beautiful and positive, even though you're dealing with the stress life brings, so I wanted to make you something," Swift wrote on the card.

The singer added, "I'm not a good painter but I think you're so beautiful and positive, even though you're dealing with the stress life brings, so I wanted to make you something."

BBC showed a screen shot of Rebecka's picture which she posted in her Tumblr. It comes along with the caption saying, "I love you so much".

Rebecka also tweeted, "I'm still trying to find the words for how I'm feeling. I just love Taylor so much and I can't thank her enough for this."

Taylor's superfan then made another video showing the moment when she opened the gift from the 1989 star. The video is originally posted on Youtube and was also shown on CNN which shows Rebecka's excitement. As shown, the box is labeled SwiftEx instead of FedEx. As Rebecka opens it, the gifts comes along in neatly packed separate parcels.

With the $1989 check comes Swift's message saying "Rebekah, now you're $1989 closer to paying off those student loans. The necklace also comes with a note, "Was mine, now yours."

"Taylor, thank you, thank you, thank you. I know I've said it and I'll probably say it a million more times because this means more to me than you could imagine, I love you!, Bortniker said in her video.
