Taylor Swift spent her last day as a 34-year-old giving back to fans in Kansas City, stopping by a hospital and visiting with young patients on Thursday(Dec. 12).
Local news network KCTV5 reports that she spent at least an hour meeting children and fans on the hematology and oncology floors of Children’s Mercy Hospital, with some witnesses saying she sang for and with patients in the facility.
Pictures of her visit have also started circulating on X; in one photo, the pop star poses with a service dog in a children’s hospital room.
In other pictures, she smiles next to hospital employees and wraps her arms around young patients, at one point laughing while looking at a “Go Taylor’s boyfriend!” Kansas City Chiefs towel.

Billboard has reached out to Swift’s rep for more details.
The heartwarming visit comes less than 24 hours ahead of the “Karma” singer’s 35th birthday on Friday (Dec. 13) — which it now seems she plans to spend in the city where boyfriend Travis Kelce plays on the Chiefs — and just a few days after she wrapped her two-year global Eras Tour in Vancouver, B.C., on Dec. 8. The trek found Swift traveling through North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia and Australia between March 2023 and this past weekend, at one point stopping in Kansas City for two nights at Arrowhead Stadium July 7-8, 2023.
The tight end recently congratulated his superstar girlfriend on the feat, saying on his New Heights podcast, “Shout out to everybody that was a part of that show … Obviously, it’s her music, her tour and everything, but that was a full production, man. That thing was the best tour in the world because of a lot of people, but mostly because of Taylor.”
Swift has visited hospital patients numerous times over the course of her career. She’s also gotten more involved in Kansas City since she started dating Kelce in the summer of 2023, attending the Mahomies Foundation auction in April and donating $100,000 to the family of a local radio DJ who was killed in a mass shooting that broke out at the Chiefs’ victory parade in February.
