Robert Green was at a bit of a low point in life after his move to LA wasn’t going as planned for the dancer. All that changed Wednesday when Green was booked to be a backup dancer on Taylor Swift’s upcoming 1989 World Tour. The first thing the 22-year old did was call his Mom in North Carolina to tell her the good news!

The call is pretty emotional but will definitely put a smile on your face. Even Taylor Swift herself gave him a shout out!

I feel so lucky to get to perform alongside people who love it this much. http://t.co/aCLZLAZFta #1989WorldTour — Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) April 29, 2015
