Taylor Swift visits Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, meets with kids in Florida
Taylor Swift turned a day at a hospital into a memory of a lifetime for patients battling illness in Hollywood, "Florida!!!"
The "Tortured Poet" singer met with patients at the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital on the only Friday the 13th of 2025, appropriate because her favorite number is 13. She wore a sage Loewe cotton blend poplin dress. In a video posted to X, Swift waved entering a patient's room. "Nice to meet you," she said followed by, "I like your hair, so cool."
stop this is so sweet 😭

The hospital visit came the morning after she and boyfriend Travis Kelce had a date night in Amerant Bank Arena for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final.
The couple caught the NHL matchup between the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers. One lucky fan seated near Swift wearing a "Midnights" cardigan caught the eye of the singer. The two took selfies. In a video posted to X, Swift grabs the cellphone and says, "I've got it. I've got really long arms."

Swift had her hair pulled back in a braided ponytail with her bold, classic red lip. She donned a beige zip-up jacket, complementing shorts and heeled ivory boots.
Long live the Eras Tour with our enchanting book
If her visit is similar to Children's Mercy Hospital trip in Kansas City, she may have gifts sent to the patients. Six months ago – fresh out the Eras Tour – the singer made an unannounced appearance on the pediatric oncology and hematology floors. She created TikToks, autographed concert books and talked with patients.
Days before Christmas, Swift sent follow-up presents to the patients, including the same outfit she wore to the hospital that a TikTok user named Naya complimented and a $600 Dyson Airwrap for a girl named Scarlett with the note, "In case Santa doesn't come through. Love, Taylor."
