Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who inspired the Hulu series The Act, would be enchanted to meet Taylor Swift — and now that she’s been released from prison, she may finally get the chance to live out her wildest dreams.

According to TMZ, Blanchard, who became a Swiftie as a teenager, credited the songstress not only with helping her get through her seven-year prison stint, but also through the abuse she suffered at the hands of her late mother, Dee Dee, who feigned her daughter’s illnesses and subjected her to painful and unnecessary medical treatments for sympathy and financial gain.

Blanchard told TMZ that Swift’s song, “Eyes Open,” which she wrote for The Hunger Games soundtrack, inspired her to push through the difficult times in her life. In fact, she even used the money her father sent her in prison to purchase all 10 albums released by Swift, who she referred to as a “kick-ass chick.”

The 32-year-old also revealed that her husband Ryan Scott Anderson bought tickets to the Dec. 31 Kansas City Chiefs game, where she hopes to bump into Swift as she cheers on her boyfriend Travis Kelce. But if she isn’t able to meet the singer on Sunday, she is planning to attend the star’s record-breaking Eras Tour when it comes to New Orleans next year.

Blanchard rose to fame after she helped orchestrate the brutal murder of her mother along with her then-boyfriend Nick Godejohn.

Through the first part of Blanchard’s life, Dee Dee told the world that her daughter was suffering from leukemia, asthma, and muscular dystrophy and forced her to undergo more than 30 surgeries as well as using a wheelchair and a feeding tube, despite not needing either.

When the abuse became so bad, a desperate Blanchard asked Godejohn to murder Dee Dee, who was later diagnosed with Munchausen syndrome by proxy. In 2016, Blanchard was sentenced to 10 years in prison for second-degree murder, but was let out on parole after seven years on Thursday (Dec. 28).

While looking back on the June 2015 killing, Blanchard told People, “Nobody will ever hear me say I’m glad she’s dead or I’m proud of what I did. I regret it every single day.”
