FILE - In this Oct. 22, 2016 photo, Taylor Swift performs in Austin, Texas. Ninety-six-year-old Cyrus Porter is a devoted Taylor Swift fan and has traveled to her shows, but on Monday, Dec. 26 2016, he didn't have to go anywhere, Swift came to him. Swift had learned about the World War II combat veteran's fandom and decided to surprise him. A day after Christmas a van carrying Swift pulled into the driveway of his home in New Madrid, Mo. The singer stayed about an hour and sang "Shake It Off" as Porter's relatives sang along. (AP Photo/Darron Cummings, File)
