Taylor Swift visits Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Florida, surprises patients
Taylor Swift stopped by Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Hollywood, Florida, on Friday for a surprise visit with patients and staff, the hospital said.
The 35-year-old singer met with children in their hospital rooms, posed for photos and handed out signed copies of a book.
The visit was shared by the hospital's official X account, which posted, "You made this a day we'll never shake off. Thank you, @taylorswift13 for bringing your support and kindness to Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital. You turned hospital hallways into a place of joy, comfort, and connection."
In one video, Swift enters a patient's room and says, "I'm Taylor, nice to meet you," as the young girl, Zoe, reacts in disbelief. The two discuss Zoe's nails before Swift offers her a hug and well wishes. "Holy cow, I just hugged Taylor Swift," Zoe says at the end of the clip.
Another video captures a similar reaction. As Swift enters the room and says "Hello," the patient covers their mouth and says, "Oh my god."
The singer goes on to compliment the room's decorations and introduces herself to someone off-camera, saying, "Hey, how are you? I'm Taylor," with the patient responding enthusiastically, "Yeah!"
Swift's visit came just one day after she and boyfriend Travis Kelce were seen attending Game 4 of the NHL Stanley Cup Final in Sunrise, Florida.
The couple watched as the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Florida Panthers 5-4 in overtime to tie the series at 2-2. During one intense moment, Swift was caught on camera turning to Kelce and miming a pounding heartbeat, telling him, "My heart was like…"
