(Video) Taylor Swift FILMED a TikTok DANCE video with the kids in an EMOTIONAL Hospital Visit in Kansas
After wrapping up her record-shattering Eras tour, pop superstar Taylor Swift made a heartwarming stop to visit young fans at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City on Thursday, December 12th. The Karma singer’s surprise visit left staff, patients, and families overwhelmed with joy and emotion.
In an Instagram post shared by a pediatric nurse at the hospital, Swift can be seen posing for a smiling group photo with the hospital staff in the Procedural Sedation Unit. “Best Day Ever” the nurse captioned the post, which captured the moment Swift brought happiness to the hospital during the busy holiday season.
During her visit, Swift also took a moment to interact with another patient, who was holding up a blanket that read, “Go Taylor’s Boyfriend,” a playful nod to her rumored beau, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce. Although Kelce wasn’t present (likely due to his football schedule), Swift still took the time to engage with fans about the Chiefs. When one patient informed her that she liked Travis Kelce, Swift playfully responded, “Yes, me too! That’s an absolute yes on that one.” The patient also shared that her favorite players were Kelce and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, to which Swift enthusiastically agreed, “Good, these are good answers. You are acing this!”
Swift even filmed a fun TikTok video to her song Bad Blood while at the hospital, which was shared on the social media platform with the caption, “Boy ain’t no way I woke up and tripped out with Taylor Swift.” The video quickly went viral, spreading even more joy to Swifties around the world.
Another hospital visitor, Melissa Newsum, posted sweet photos of Swift meeting Bailey, a young patient who regularly requests Taylor Swift songs during her medical procedures. “Y’all, she is amazing. On top of her sheer beauty, she was just as kind and personable and down to earth,” Newsum wrote on Facebook.
She also shared how Bailey was deeply moved by the encounter, especially since she had been struggling with her health. “I cried because it’s wonderful to see my girl smile so much knowing the pain she’s been in,” Newsum added. Swift gifted Bailey a signed copy of her Eras tourbook, and the two even exchanged gifts.
As Swift prepared to leave, hospital staff took the opportunity to wish her an early happy birthday. Swift, who turns 35 on December 13th, responded with a playful comment about the nickname “Tater,” which she used to be called as a child. “They’d call me Tater because my last name is Tate, and it rhymes. I’ll respond to that if you call me that because you’re cool,” Swift joked with staff and patients alike.
This emotional and thoughtful visit from Taylor Swift comes just days before her birthday and is a beautiful reminder of the positive impact celebrities can have on their fans—especially the young ones who need it most. Swift’s kindness and generosity undoubtedly made an unforgettable impact on the patients at Children’s Mercy Hospital, leaving them with memories they’ll cherish forever.
