Lulu Gribbin was attacked by a shark along with two other victims on separate beaches in early June. She lost her left hand and parts of her right leg were amputated. Since the terrifying experience, Gribbin has been sharing details about her recovery through an Instagram account.
Months after the traumatizing event, Gribbin received a special invitation from the Swift family. She attended the Eras Tour stop at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Friday, Nov. 2.
“About ten days after Lulu was injured, she received a box in the mail from [Taylor Swift] with a handwritten note from her mom, Andrea,” a recent update revealed. “They sent heartfelt well wishes right when Lulu and the Gribbins needed them and invited them to the concert of their choice whenever they were ready to attend.”
The update further revealed that the note was received in the hospital room in Charlotte. “The idea of Lulu walking (let alone attending a concert) seemed a million miles away,” the update continued. “Well, last night Lulu, her family, and friends danced the night away at the show in Indianapolis and got to sit with Mama Swift herself.”
The post included photos of the special gift, an orchid, from the Swift family as well as snaps of Lulu attending the concert and meeting Taylor Swift’s mom.
“A well-deserved celebration for them all!!” the update added. “Thank you to Taylor and the Swift family for the amazing memories that will never be forgotten.”
Gribbin also posted the photo of her and Taylor Swift’s mom on her personal Instagram account. “Just me and mama swift,” she captioned the post.
