Taylor Swift stopped by Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood, Florida, on June 12 to surprise the kids and staff, just one day after she and Travis Kelce cozied up at the Stanley Cup Final.
Taylor Swift is making wildest dreams come true.
The “Fortnight” singer stopped by Joe DiMaggio’s Children’s Hospital in Hollywood, Florida, June 12 to spend some time with the kids and staff—and she even surprised them with signed copies of her book and, of course, a few sweet selfies.
“You made this a day we’ll never shake off,” the hospital captioned a June 14 Instagram post alongside a series of photos from the superstar’s visit. “Thank you, @taylorswift for bringing your support and kindness to Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. You turned hospital hallways into a place of joy, comfort, and connection.”
“Our patients and families felt the love,” the caption continued, “and the magic will stay, stay, stay with them long after today.”
In one video included in the post, Taylor could be seen surprising a patient named Zoe, who simply couldn’t believe her eyes.
“I’m Taylor, nice to meet you,” the Grammy winner said as she entered the room and sat beside Zoe’s bed. “When you’re going through so much, you’re so amazing to be so positive and so friendly to us.”
“I was wondering,” she added, “could I have a hug?”
In a following video, the 35-year-old visited another patient’s room. And after Taylor introduced herself to him and his family, he couldn’t help himself from asking, “Wait can I scream?”
During her visit to the Florida hospital, the “Karma” singer also paid a special visit to the hospital’s Chief of Surgery, Jill Whitehouse.
“Undeniably one of the kindest human beings I have ever had the privilege of meeting,” Jill wrote on Instagram June 14 alongside a photo of the two. “Thank you #taylorswift for making dreams come true for all of our patients, families, and staff today!”
The “Cruel Summer” singer’s spontaneous visit to the children’s hospital came just one day after she and her boyfriend Travis Kelce enjoyed a date night at the NHL Staney Cup final between the Florida Panters and the Edmonton Oilers in Sunrise, Florida.
And while the pair cozied up in the Amerant Bank Arena, it’s certainly not the first time they’ve made the whole place shimmer for a sports match—including the 2025 Super Bowl, where the Kansas City Chiefs suffered a big loss against the Philadelphia Eagles.
“Having that confidence and comfort off the field and all the support I could ever ask for in the stadium,” Travis said of their relationship during a January episode of the Stephen A. Smith Show. “That’s the beauty of being in a very strong relationship is that you get that support to be able to come in and focus on your craft. Focus on being the best version of you.”

July 2023: So, Make the Friendship Bracelets
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s love story began in July 2023, when the singer’s Eras Tour made a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals.
“I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. “So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”
