Taylor Swift Visits Children's Hospital In Kansas City
Swift's $250K donation comes over a week after she visited a children's hospital in Kansas City. The "Blank Space" singer, joined by her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, spread love and happiness to patients at Children's Mercy Kansas City.
During her visit, the 14-time Grammy Award winner met with many children at the hospital, their parents, staff, and specially trained facility dogs. She also posed for photographs with them.
One of the patients who took pictures with Swift was Rylie, whose grandma, Anita Belt, gushed about the experience in a Facebook post. Belt shared some of the photographs Rylie took with Swift and captioned it, "Children's Mercy Hospital does their best to nurse seriously ill children, comfort family, and bring a little joy when they can. Today did not disappoint!"
She also wrote, "Thank you Taylor Swift for bringing some joy to Rylie today!! One of the nurses said Travis Kelce was in the building as well, but didn't stop in his room. Great way to bring a smile and make a memory!"

Fans Want Kelce To Propose To Swift
Since making their relationship Instagram official in October 2023, Swift and Kelce have captivated fans worldwide with their strong connection and chemistry. The couple supports each other in every way, with Swift gracing many of Kelce's games while he also showed up at her Eras Tour concerts.
Due to the pair's blossoming love, it isn't surprising that many fans are wondering when Kelce will pop the question.
