Taylor Swift visited a children’s hospital in Kansas City, Mo., on the eve of her 35th birthday.
The “Karma” singer, 34, stopped by Children’s Mercy Kansas City on Thursday with her beau Travis Kelce and met with patients, staff and specially trained facility dogs during her visit.
A patient named Rylie took several photos with the global superstar, and his grandmother, Anita Belt, raved about his experience and said that Kelce, 35, was also visiting.

“Children’s Mercy Hospital does their best to nurse seriously ill children, comfort family, and bring a little joy when they can. Today did not disappoint!” she wrote in a public Facebook post.
“Thank you Taylor Swift for bringing some joy to Rylie today!!”
“Travis Kelce was in the building as well, but didn’t stop in his room. Great way to bring a smile and make a memory! .”

Page Six reached out to Kelce’s rep for confirmation of his visit.
Another patient, an 11-year-old Swiftie named Baylee, also met the singer after nearly a week in the hospital. Her mother, Melissa Nuzum, called it “the coolest, most unexpected surprise ever” on her Facebook page.
“We absolutely gained so much more love and respect [for] Taylor,” Nuzum exclusively told Page Six. “She was lovely and personable.”

In her Facebook post, she also revealed that Swift gave Baylee a signed copy of her “Eras Tour Book.”
Workers at the hospital were also in awe of the surprise visit. Pediatric oncology nurse Nkiru Chigbogwu took to her Instagram Story to share a photo of Swift smiling behind a group of professionals with two thumbs in the air.
“meeting Taylor Swift was NOT on my bingo card today,” she wrote over the snap.

The 14-time Grammy winner seemed to enjoy visiting a trained hospital dog named Jellybean while spending time at Children’s Mercy as well.
An Instagram account for Jellybean and her peers shared two images of Swift petting the 4-year-old golden retriever as she sat on a bed with her.
Swift wore a green button-up shirt with a matching pleated miniskirt with opaque black tights and knee-high Christian Louboutin boots.

Swift has certainly felt the giving spirit this holiday season — her hospital visit comes days after Page Six confirmed she gave her tour cast and crew about $197 million in bonuses between the May 2023 start and Dec. 8 conclusion of her record-breaking Eras Tour.
As for her birthday, it’s not clear how she plans to celebrate.
A source for Us Weekly claimed earlier this month that she is “excited” to ring in her new year of life.
