Superstar singer Taylor Swift visited 96-year-old World War II veteran Cyrus Porter on Christmas Monday to give him a surprise house performance.

What makes the surprise even better is this WWII hero is also a ‘Swifty’ and believes he’s the pop sensations oldest fan.

Upon seeing her, the man and his family burst into screams, tears and smiles – just like most teens do when seeing her.

To accompany the 27-year-old’s vocals she brought her guitar to sing an acoustic version of “Shake It Off” for the elderly man and his family present.

“Look what she does,” Porter said about the pop princess.

“She puts on a show no one else puts on. I just enjoyed going to see ’em and her. I would as soon go see her right now as anybody!”

Before Swift stepped in the door, most family members had no idea who they are waiting to see. However some shared a pretty good guess before the young singer walked in.
