Global superstar Taylor Swift paid a surprise visit to Children’s Mercy Kansas City on Thursday, spreading cheer just before her 35th birthday.
The singer, known for her chart-topping hits and compassionate gestures, was accompanied by NFL star Travis Kelce during the heartwarming visit.
Swift spent time with patients, staff, and even the hospital’s specially trained facility dogs, making the day unforgettable for many.
Among those she met was Rylie, a young patient whose grandmother, Anita Belt, shared the experience on Facebook.
“Children’s Mercy Hospital does their best to nurse seriously ill children, comfort families, and bring a little joy when they can. Today did not disappoint!” Belt wrote. “Thank you, Taylor Swift, for bringing some joy to Rylie today!”
Another lucky patient was 11-year-old Baylee, a devoted Swiftie. Her mother, Melissa Nuzum, described the visit as “the coolest, most unexpected surprise ever,” adding that Swift gifted Baylee a signed copy of her Eras Tour Book.
Hospital staff were equally thrilled. Pediatric oncology nurse Nkiru Chigbogwu shared a group photo with Swift on social media, captioning it, “Meeting Taylor Swift was NOT on my bingo card today.”
The 14-time Grammy winner also spent time with Jellybean, a 4-year-old golden retriever and one of the hospital’s therapy dogs.
Photos posted online showed Swift petting the dog while sitting on a bed, dressed in a chic green button-up shirt, matching pleated skirt, and knee-high Christian Louboutin boots.
