We LOVE Beyonce!!!
The pregnant supermom-singer-everything took the time to FaceTime with one of her biggest fans who happens to be battling cancer, after the teen's friends drew attention to their pal's plight with a social media campaign.
Ebony Banks, a high school senior at Houston's Alief Hastings High School has spent most of the school year outside the classroom after being diagnosed with stage-four cancer. She had one wish and her friends wanted to grant it for her -- to meet Beyonce.
Her friends started the hastag #EBOBMEETSBEYONCE on social media in an attempt to get singer's attention and it worked! The singer spoke with the teen who said, "I love your dancing." Bey replied by saying, "I love you!"
"Beyoncé is one of her idols. She admires her so much, so we're trying to put that on Twitter and Instagram to get Beyoncé's attention," Alief HS sophomore Karina Gutierrez told local ABC affiliate KTRK-TV.
"Thank you to everyone who helped #ebobmeetsbeyonce @Beyonce," the school Tweeted. What an amazing group of friends and what an amazing celebrity story!
