Naomi Oakes is 11 years old, a huge Taylor Swift fan and has a real life battle with "Bad Blood" on her hands.

The bad blood we're referring to is Leukemia. 

Her parents took Naomi to the doctor after noticing excessive bruises on her legs and torso. A day later following tests, they were told they needed to take their daughter to the Children's Hospital ASAP.

After a biopsy, the doctors later confirmed the diagnosis of AML (Acute Myelogenous Leukemia). They said this was the type of Leukemia they weren't hoping to find. It is more aggressive than other kinds and requires 6-9 months of intensive therapy in the hospital.

During her treatment, Naomi can't leave the hospital meaning she'll miss Taylor Swift's concert in Phoenix on August 18th, which she got tickets to for her Christmas present.

Naomi's trying to get Taylor Swift's attention, because not only is she a big fan, Taylor's song Bad Blood, has become her anthem for her cancer battle.

Let's hope Taylor sees the hashtag #TeamNaomi and Naomi can conquer that Bad Blood!
