Taylor Swift surprises children at Florida hospital
Taylor Swift made a couple of fans' days when she made a surprise visit to a Florida hospital. According to fan videos, Swift posed for photos with several children at the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Hollywood, Fla.
She also took the time to spread joy to the many healthcare workers.
In another video, Swift is seen talking with a girl and giving her a warm embrace.
Swift also posed with the Chief of Surgery, Jill Whitehouse.
'Chief of Surgery meets Chief of the World! Undeniably one of the kindest human beings I have ever had the privilege of meeting. Thank you #taylorswift for making dreams come true for all of our patients, families, and staff today!' Whitehouse captioned the photo.
This hospital visit follows her previous surprise drop in to patients at the Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo. after she concluded her record-breaking Eras Tour back in December.
After several years of her masters being owned by her former label Big Machine Records, then Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings, and lastly Shamrock Capital, Swift is now the owner of her first six albums. In a $360 million deal according to Billboard, Swift was able to secure the ownership of the projects that propelled her to stardom. She recollected about the exact moment in a handwritten letter on her personal website.
'I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow. A flashback sequence of all the times I daydreamed about, wished for, and prayed away for a chance to get to tell you this news. All the times I was thisssss close, reaching out for it, only for it to fall through. I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away. But that's all in the past now. I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening. I really get to say these words: All of the music I've ever made… now belongs to me.'
The 14-time Grammy winner now owns the original records to her self-titled debut Taylor Swift, 1989, Reputation, Red, Speak Now, and Fearless. To combat the formerly not owning the first six albums, she recreated the projects that were dubbed 'Taylor's Versions.' To complete the series, she would need to record her self-titled and Reputation.
In addition to being elated over the ownership of her original masters, she shared an update to fans on the remaining two projects release dates. Swift told fans that Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version) as well as Reputation (Taylor's Verison) will 'have their moment to re-emerge when the time is right, if that is something you guys would be excited about.'
'But if it happens, it won't be from a place of sadness and longing for what I wish I could have,' she added. 'It will just be a celebration now.'

After Seeing The $80 Galactus Popcorn Bucket In Action, All I Can Think Is ‘Holy Heck It's Gigantic!'
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Now, I'm a popcorn connoisseur, but not a popcorn bucket fanatic. However, I can recognize good game, and am very entertained by the ever-creative and wild designs we've seen, as it feels like each major blockbuster on the 2025 movie schedule tries to one-up each other with their popcorn receptacles. Well, now The Fantastic Four: First Steps has entered the competition with a ginormous Galactus bucket that I can't get over after seeing it in action. Literally, all I could think when I saw a video of this $80 (well, $79.99) popcorn bucket was 'Oh my goodness, it's gigantic!' Obviously, I knew it would be large; I mean, when it was announced by Marvel as part of the lead-up to The Fantastic Four: First Steps' release, it was touted as 'the universe's biggest popcorn vessel.' However, it's hard to fathom just how big 17.5 inches tall and 20 inches wide is until you see it on display at a theater, take a look at @3cfilms TikTok about it: Like Marvel's enormous big bad Galactus, this popcorn bucket is HUGE and that's not even an exaggeration. That's because all popcorn buckets are big to begin with. They hold, typically, a Large amount of the theater snack, and as someone who still uses their Eras Tour bucket, I can confirm it can hold over one large bag of microwave popcorn. So, from the jump, I knew this would be big. But not THIS big. Read More About Other New Popcorn Buckets I Didn't Expect The Naked Gun To Get A Popcorn Bucket, But I'm Cracking Up Over The Deep Cut Reference That Allowed It To Happen However, as this video shows, the bucket made for this upcoming Marvel movie is on a new level of large (I think I'd put at least two extras in front of it). It basically dwarfed the NSFW Dune: Part Two popcorn bucket, and that very odd receptacle was no small item. Also, can we take a minute to talk about the horns? Per AMC (the bucket is also available at Cinemark), those two giant purple pieces double the width of the bucket. When they're not attached, the item is 9.6 inches wide, and with them, it's 20 inches. That's crazy. You need both hands to hold on to that thing, and if you are trying to enjoy the film while eating popcorn out of this bucket and it's fully put together, you might end up poking your seat neighbors. Oh, one more thing, it lights up! And that's sick. (If you buy it, please refrain from turning it on during the movie, save it for when you get home.) I must admit, though, I'm a small person, and I fear that if I were to try and grab popcorn out of this vessel, I'd have to reach up and then into it. That's wild, in my humble opinion. However, it's also pretty cool. Now, will I be spending $80 on this item? No, I won't. I do not have the space in my small apartment for that. But I do think it's sick, and a wonderful item for those who want to own a popcorn bucket that could cast a massive shadow over all others. So, if you are looking to enjoy our first outing with this new Fantastic Four with Galactus by your side, you can pick up this bucket when you go to see First Steps in theaters starting on July 25.
