Oliver captured the world’s attention when Taylor Swift gifted her the famous “22 hat” and embraced her during the Eras Tour concert in Sydney, Australia back in February.
During every show on The Eras Tour, Taylor Swift selects one fortunate fan to receive the hat she wears while performing her hit song “22” from her fourth studio album, Red.
“Good night baby. I love you”: Oliver’s dad shares moving post.
Oliver’s father, Paul, took to Instagram to share the devastating news of her passing. In his heartfelt post, he expressed that life will never be the same without her. He lovingly described Oliver as his “angel”, highlighting her strength, bravery, and beauty.
He added, “Don’t forget me, and please find a way to let me know you are ok. Goodnight, baby. I love you.”
Paul concluded the post with the heartwrenching words: “It’s just not fair,” and added a broken heart emoji.
Paul recently provided an update on Oliver’s health on April 12, revealing that her condition had worsened over the last two weeks. He shared that she now has a feeding tube to aid in weight gain, as she has lost weight and is regurgitating anything she consumes.
He further shared, “Last night after discharge from PCH she suffered a significant seizure and was rushed to hospital via ambulance. She has now stabilised but remains in hospital very unwell.”
Oliver’s parents received grim news after the doctors performed an MRI scan: her prognosis was bleak, and she had only a few weeks left to live.
