As per a report, Swift spent the entire day at the hospital, sharing fun moments with the young ones. Based on the number of photographs circulating on the internet, it is evident that the star had generously posed for pictures with the patients and their families.
The pop sensation also gifted the kids in the hospital a signed edition of her latest Eras Tour book with personalised messages. The highlight, however, were the video chats.
Not only did Taylor oblige to FaceTime the family members of the patients but she was also seen making the day of a young patient on the last day of chemo. In the video that has now gone viral, Taylor is seen sitting next to the kid fighting cancer, while conveying regards to all his friends.
The video ends with Taylor giving the young patient a high-five and celebrating the kids’ last day of chemo with a round of applause.

It was heartening to see Taylor use her time in such an inspiring manner. Most artists would have preferred a relaxing vacation after completing a two-year gruelling world tour. Taylor chose this beautiful gesture, which portrays her kind-heartedness. It also shows how connected she is with the city of Kansas.
