Taylor Swifthas made a surprise stop at a Kansas City children’s hospital, shocking parents and patients alike as she laughed with them, posed for photos and exchanged gifts.
All parent Cassie Thomas was told beforehand was that she might want to brush her hair and teeth because there was going to be a special visitor. But she was stunned when Swift, fresh off her Eras Tourand one day before her 35th birthday, walked into her son’s son Beckett Thomas’ room on Thursday at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City.
“No rumors. Like, we literally had absolutely no idea this was happening,” Thomas recalled.
Her 13-year-old son, Beckett Thomas, is a cancer patient and a fan of Swift’s Kansas City Chiefs tight-end boyfriend, Travis Kelce. Beckett uses a 3D printer to make earrings bearing his and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ names, walking around the hospital unit selling them to nurses.
Now, Swift has a pair as well.
“She was amazing,” Beckett’s mom said. “So down to earth.”
Another patient told Swift that her favorite song was “Love Story” and had some questions about San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy, whose team played the Chiefs in the Super Bowl earlier this year.
Surprised, Taylor, muttered: “Brock Purdy, What? I mean, I don’t mind Brock Purdy.” She then continued: “He put me through a lot last February.”
Asked before the Super Bowl whether he wasprepared to disappoint Swift, Purdy responded: “Yes.”
The game ended with Mahomes rallying the Chiefs to second straight Super Bowl title, 25-22 over the 49ers in overtime.
“I was very stressed for a second but it all ended up fine,” Swift told the girl, their recorded conversation posted online.
The girl then chimed in: “I like Travis now.” Swift responded with: “Me too. That’s an absolute yes on that one.”
There is no word on whether Swift will be in the stands when the Chiefs play the Brownson Sunday in Kelce’s hometown of Cleveland.
