Taylor Swift formally invited 7-year-old piano sensation Jacob Velazquez to come meet her during one of her concerts Wednesday.

Swift sent the invite over Twitter after viewing a video of Velazquez posted by advocacy group Autism Speaks, showing him playing a collection of melodies from her 1989 album on the piano by heart.

Velazquez was diagnosed with a form of high-functioning autism when he was 4, but that hasn't stopped him from pursuing his gift of music. In the past, his musical talents and ability to play classical music pieces from memory have caught the attention of Good Morning America, The View, CNN Headline News and more. Now Velazquez has caught the attention of his favorite pop singer, Taylor Swift.

"I have to give you a hug for that beautiful piano medley you did!" Taylor tweeted out. "Please come to a show on my tour and say hi to me? My treat.

    @JacobsPiano I HAVE to give you a hug for that beautiful piano medley you did! Please come to a show on my tour and say hi to me? My treat.

Autism Speaks saw the tweet and agreed to give Velazquez the chance to meet her in concert. "I can't wait to meet @taylorswift13!!! #BestDayEver," Velazquez tweeted.

    Thank you so much @autismspeaks!!!!! I can't wait to meet @taylorswift13!!! #BestDayEver❤️

Currently Velazquez is recording his first album entitled Jacob, and a portion of the proceeds will go towards autism research.

Swift continues to reach out to fans who have touched her when on Monday the "Shake It Off" singer gave a rare performance of her song 'Ronan' dedicated to Ronan Thompson and his family who died of cancer at age 4.
