Taylor Swift Surprises 96-Year-Old WWII Veteran & Superfan For Christmas

Music icon Taylor Swift gave 96-year-old Cyrus Porter, a Second World War veteran and big fan, an unforgettable Christmas surprise. She visited him, chatted, and performed a song. When she arrived, the family greeted her with cheers. After the excitement settled, she played "Shake It Off" on her acoustic guitar, turning the room into a lively singalong.

Swift started by wishing everyone a merry Christmas. She gave high fives to the children before speaking to Mr. Porter. She said, “My dad showed me a video of you saying you wanted to attend one of my concerts. I’m not sure when my next tour will be, so I thought I’d bring the concert to you. We can even take requests.”

Taylor’s parents were with her for the visit. During their chat, she told Mr. Porter that her grandfather had also fought in the Second World War. Mr. Porter, clearly moved, stood up and shared a quick story about his time in the war. Then, Swift picked up her guitar and performed a cheerful version of "Shake It Off." The kids danced, and the rest of the family joined in singing.

Chris Porter, a family member, shared a video of the touching moment. He praised Swift, saying she was a person of great character. He noted how she didn’t try to take the spotlight when she entered the room. Instead, she seemed genuinely thankful and moved by their warm welcome.

Fans were also impressed by Swift’s kindness when the video appeared online. Many commented on her down-to-earth personality and generosity. One said, “She truly cares about people. What a beautiful moment for the family.” Another added, “This made me tear up. The kindest thing I’ve seen in a long time.”
