Taylor Swift surprises sick children with five-hour hospital visit
Country superstar Taylor Swift surprised young patients at a Providence, Rhode Island hospital on Monday (31Mar14) with a five-hour long visit and impromptu performance.
Just a week after the Love Story hitmaker spent time at New York City's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, she continued her goodwill by visiting the patients at the Hasbro Children’s Hospital.
According to local news station WJAR-TV, Swift arrived "without
press releases and cameras or an entourage" and stayed for five
hours.
The 24 year old individually met with the young children, posing
for photos before playing her hit song Mean for the patients and
their families.
Staff at the hospital showed their gratitude to Swift in a message
posted on their official Facebook page, which reads: "A huge THANK
YOU to the amazingly sweet and talented Taylor Swift who visited
Hasbro Children's Hospital today!
"Taylor spent lots of time visiting with our young inpatients at
the hospital today, and even played a song for the kids on our 6th
floor med/psych unit. It was such a special day for a lot of our
kids, and we are so thankful to Taylor and her dad for choosing to
spend their time with us and put smiles on so many faces!"
The medical center is about an hour away from Swift's oceanfront
mansion in Westerly which she bought last year (13).
