Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce made an emotional visit to a children’s hospital in Kansas City on Thursday, days after she wrapped up her The Eras Tour.
The superstar, who will turn 35 on Friday, December 13, looked delighted as she posed with children being treated at Children’s Mercy Hospital, before joining staff for a group snap.
Taylor looked radiant in a Miu Miu set as she marked her first public outing since wrapping her last show in Vancouver.
Her Boyfriend and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis, 35, was also at the hospital but the pair were not pictured together.
Melissa Nuzum, the mom of patient Baylee who Taylor visited wrote on Facebook: ‘We had the coolest and most unexpected surprise ever… Taylor Swift came to visit inpatient children today and Baylee was chosen since she requests Taylor songs during her uncomfortable procedures.
Ya’ll she is amazing. On top of her sheer beauty, she was a kind and personable and down to earth.

‘She gave Baylee a signed copy of her Eras Tour book and accepted a gift from Baylee, a diamond art picture as well.
‘We have fan girled all morning. I even cried as it’s wonderful to see my girl smile so much knowing the pain she’s been in.
‘Thank you Taylor and those involved at Children’s Mercy that helped make this happen.’
Their joint visit reveals the pair are spending some much-needed time together after the conclusion of her record-breaking tour which ended December 8.
The star is said to be ‘exhausted but so grateful’ and ‘looking forward’ to spending the holidays with Travis.
Later this week, the Bad Blood songstress will also ring in her 35th birthday on Friday – and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end has ‘extra special’ plans for the big day.
A source told People in an article published on Tuesday that Swift is ‘exhausted, but obviously so, so grateful’ for the Eras Tour.
‘She had so many emotions about the last few shows in Vancouver,’ the insider said, adding that both Taylor and Kelce are ‘looking forward to the holidays.’

Last month, the couple – who went public with their budding romance last year – had the chance to spend Thanksgiving together amid a brief break in each of their busy schedules.
But later this week, Taylor will have the chance to properly celebrate her birthday on Friday.
Travis notably has an away game on Sunday, December 15 to take on the Cleveland Browns – but still has plans to make the day important for the singer-songwriter.
A source recently told Page Six, ‘Although he’ll be playing on Christmas and has an away game the weekend of Taylor’s birthday, Travis is going to make sure to take time out to celebrate both occasions with her.’
The NFL player has been ‘shopping for Christmas and birthday gifts for Taylor for quite a while now.’
The insider expressed that Kelce is ‘not the type to leave these things to the last minute’ and has already gotten ‘items here and there for the past several months whenever he has a chance.’
‘Some of the gifts are things Taylor has casually mentioned she would like. Travis makes sure to always listen even when Taylor doesn’t realize he is.’
The lovebirds are no strangers to going all out on presents for each other. Earlier this year in February for Valentine’s Day, the Chiefs tight end reportedly spent around $14,000 on gifts for the songstress.
And for Kelce’s own 35th birthday which he celebrated in October – Taylor reportedly spent $360,000 to help ring in the special milestone.

One gift included the performer renting out the Formula One track at Monza in Italy so he could spend the day racing.
Just days earlier, Swift concluded her Eras Tour in Vancouver on Sunday, December 8 – with the tour raking in a record-breaking $2.2 billion in ticket sales.
As the 21-month tour came to an official end, Taylor also gave $197 million in bonuses to the crew – including truck drivers, caterers, instrument techs, merch team, dancers, production assistants, makeup artists and choreographers, per People.
And after concluding the North American portion of the tour last year, she also gave out around $55 million in bonuses.
She also donated to food banks in each city that she stopped in during the lengthy tour.
One day before the final concert in Vancouver, Swift had taken time to talk to the audience while on stage inside the sold-out BC Place stadium.
She opened up about making the decision to extend dates for the Eras Tour and stated, ‘This is the most fun, joyful, exciting, intense, powerful and wonderful tour I have ever done, and that’s all because of the way that you have treated it.’
Taylor continued to her fans, ‘There’s a reason why this is my longest tour I’ve ever done.’

‘I’ve never played this many shows on a tour before, and it’s just cause I really never wanted it to end, because you guys have made it into such a wonderful experience for all of us on stage.’
She gushed about fans creating special ‘traditions’ during the tour, such as wearing friendship bracelets.
The Bad Blood songstress also added during the concert, ‘This tour has taken up three years of my life, when you think about the planning of it and then the rehearsals and then being on this tour for a year and eight months.’
‘I just keep thinking when I look at this crowd how incredibly happy and grateful and fortunate we are to get to spend our last weekend here in Vancouver.’
A source recently informed Us Weekly that Swift has the intention to take a long break now that the tour is over.
‘She’s told her team to give her one year,’ the insider said, while a separate source expressed, ‘Taylor plans to stay in and hibernate for a while.’
Both Swift and Kelce ‘want to do “normal things” as a couple…’ and added, ‘Taylor’s exhausted. She’s excited for some relaxation and downtime.’
During the final night of her Eras Tour, the singer made a special shout out to Travis – who had been playing at Arrowhead Stadium to defeat the Los Angeles Chargers 19-17.

While singing lyrics to the track Karma, she belted out ‘Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me…’
She first altered the original lyrics of ‘Karma is the guy on the screen coming straight home to me’ while performing in Buenos Aires last year in November.
With the Eras Tour now over, a source had told DailyMail.com that Taylor was ‘leaning on’ Kelce amid emotional struggles.
‘This tour has been her life and the people on the tour have been her family and as it draws to a close, she has been super emotional – leaning on Travis and her family more than ever.’
The insider added, ‘She is such a busy body. She knows she must just take some time to enjoy her successes, but she really doesn’t know what to do to fill her time aside from writing songs.’
‘Taylor cannot be bored and doesn’t really know what she is going to do with her time.’
The Grammy winner has talked about becoming a mother in the past, but the source noted that she ‘has not discussed’ the topic recently.
‘Her friends believe that she should use this time to take things to the next level with Travis and that it is the perfect time to start a family of her own.’
‘She has had everything she has ever wanted and everyone who knows her believes she would make the best mom ever. Taylor has not discussed this with them but has talked about wanting a family in the past.’
