Taylor Swift is known across the globe for her incredible music but the reason people can’t get enough of her is simply because of her genuine kindness! The star does whatever she can to spread love and cheer to all those around, especially those in need. Just before her 35th birthday, on 12th December, she showed us once again why she deserves all of our praise.

Instead of going all out with a party like any other celebrities might or relaxing at home, Taylor decided to spend the day at the Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. She visited young patients that are battling critical illness, and brightening their room by making memories they’ll never forget. From singing their favourite song snippets to sharing encouraging words, she went from room to room, bringing smiles and laughter to the children, offering these joyful moment to those that were battling serious illnesses.

Taylor spent about an hour with the kids on the hematology and oncology floors, and she even sang for them. Can you imagine being in the hospital and having your favorite pop star come to just sing for you? That’s enough to make anyone feel special.

And the photos? They tell a better story than words could. Taylor not only brought cheer to all the kids but she had a great time herself. In some photos, you can see her smiling with a service dog, and in others, she’s laughing and hugging kids, one kid was even holding a towel that says, “Go Taylor’s boyfriend!”
