One Direction fan @otrataylor experienced a dream moment at a 1D concert this week when Harry Styles signed her hat in the middle of the show.

On its own, this isn’t a hugely big deal for anyone other than @otrataylor and her friends. But since her real name is Taylor, footage of Styles signing the hat was enough to bring back sweet, sweet memories from the Harry Styles/Taylor Swift romance.

Hopefully the Green Bay Packers are even half as excited as One Directioners over this time in the spotlight.
