Swift visited Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital in South Brisbane, Australia Tuesday, to spend time, do art projects and sing with the children there. The hospital later posted a grateful message on Facebook. “Thank you Taylor Swift for dropping by the Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital this afternoon to give our patients and families a special surprise they’ll never forget,” they wrote. “They’ll never ‘shake off’ the memories you made tonight.” Check out the photos below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4403205/taylor-swift-visits-childrens-hospital-australia/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4403205/taylor-swift-visits-childrens-hospital-australia/"},"headline":"Taylor Swift Visited a Children's Hospital and the Photos Are Heartwarming","datePublished":"2016-07-12T18:15:25.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:34:19.741Z","description":"So sweet","url":"https://time.com/4403205/taylor-swift-visits-childrens-hospital-australia/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","Taylor Swift"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ashley Hoffman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4403205/taylor-swift-visits-childrens-hospital-australia/","name":"Taylor Swift Visited a Children's Hospital and the Photos Are Heartwarming"}}]}] ```
