Taylor Swift surprises fan who dubbed her hospital-visit outfit 'tea' with special gift

Taylor Swift brightened one young fan’s holidays with a touching gift after the teen declared her outfit “tea” during the star’s recent visit to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City.

It was a replica of the very outfit the singer wore during that visit earlier this month: a tartan Miu Miu set that includes a $2,250 pleated miniskirt and $2,250 button-down shirt, according to People.

The Grammy-winning artist visited the hospital the day before her Dec. 13 birthday, her 35th. She also donated $250,000 to Operation Breakthrough, a children’s educational nonprofit that boyfriend Travis Kelce has supported for a decade.

Among the many young patients she visited was a teen named Naya, who called the singer’s fetching outfit “tea” in a TikTok video of Swift signing a book for her that subsequently went viral.

“Thank you for saying my outfit was tea,” Swift said as she signed a copy of her Eras Tour book for the young patient, Naya.

“Everything about it — your hair!” Naya replied.

“You made my day with that,” Swift said, looking away from the book to smile at the girl.

 

On Sunday, an over-the-moon Naya posted a follow-up as she received a pile of packages, shocked to see the very same outfit she had complimented.

“She is soo amazing!” the girl captioned the emoji-packed video of her unboxing the bonanza. “I’m soo blessed, I love you Tay Swizzle you’re literally the Best!”

Swift had also written a personal, handwritten note.

“When you asked where I got it, I purposely didn’t tell you because I had a plan :),” Swift wrote. “Picked you up a few things I hope you’ll think are tea. Ha.…Merry Christmas! Love, Taylor.”

The visit was a bright spot in the lives of several ill children and was just the latest act of generosity the singer has been flagged for. Those have ranged from the $197 million in bonuses she gave to her crew and performers during the tour, to the $5 million she gave for hurricane relief after storms Helene and Milton devastated the South, to the $100,000 she gave to the family of a beloved local radio DJ who was fatally shot in April at the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade.
