Tragic final text of Taylor Swift superfan Logan Federico, 22, before being ‘executed by serial criminal’ as she slept
A TAYLOR Swift superfan sent a tragic final message to her boss before being shot dead while she was sleeping.
Logan Federico, an aspiring teacher, was with pals at a rental home before being killed on May 3.
Alexander Dickey, a serial criminal, allegedly broke into the property and opened fire.
He is also accused of stealing her credit cards and going on a spending spree.
Federico, 22, worked at a bar in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the manager Jeff Reed revealed he last saw her on April 25.
“The last words of her to me were I love you,” he told the NBC affiliate WIS-TV.
Reed recalled Federico would often say the three-word phrase to him.
The text that Federico sent to her boss was one of the final messages she sent before she was killed, according to her dad Stephen.
Federico failed to show up for any further shifts at the bar.
Reed paid a glowing tribute to his former staffer, recalling that she had a smile on her face 99% of the time.
“It was easy to come in here and not feel deflated when she was working” he said.
“She greeted you. She wanted to know how you’re doing in life.”
Federico’s last shift at the bar came just days before she was found dead.
She was found with a gunshot wound in her chest in the home located in Columbia, South Carolina.
Cops revealed Dickey, 30, went into Federico’s room and shot her.
He is accused of driving away from the home in a stolen car before the motor ended up breaking down.
Cops homed in on Dickey to a home in Lexington County before he fled on foot, sparking a manhunt.
He allegedly then broke into another property and set it alight before being arrested.
Cops revealed that Federico was randomly murdered and said she wasn’t the intended target.

Federico’s family said the Swift superfan was taken “far too soon.”
“A big personality in every room, Logan was fun, fierce, and full of heart—just like her favorite Taylor Swift anthem, “22” (which she insisted was written just for her),” they said in a GoFundMe post.
Stephen described her as a “spicy” individual, as reported by the ABC affiliate WACH-TV.
He also shared an Instagram post that said: My daughter knows I have her back and I know she has mine.
‘BIG PERSONALITY’
“I didn’t raise a princess, I raised a warrior.”
Stephen revealed he’s still waiting for Federico to reply back to his text message that said: “I love you.”
And, he had a defiant message to his daughter’s alleged killer.
“The message I wanted to send to Dickey, who took my daughter’s life — this is from her: ‘You can’t kill my spirit,” he said in a press conference.
“You might be able to kill my body … but you cannot kill my love that my family and friends shared with me.”
Federico was planning on studying at the College of Charleston in South Carolina in her pursuit to become a teacher.
She celebrated her 22nd birthday in January – months before being killed.
“May this new year bring you growth, happiness, and fulfillment,” Stephen said in a touching Facebook post.
Meanwhile, Dickey has been charged with murder, burglary, credit card theft and weapons possession.
He had previously been convicted of robbery and grand larceny.
