    Taylor Swift Surprises 96yr Old WWII Veteran, Drops In For Chat & Plays A Song

    Taylor Swift really knocked it outta da park visiting this 96yr old WWII vet who is an admitted
    "Swiftie."

    Her parents heard the story of this veteran who wanted to go to a concert to see her, but she wasn't touring anytime soon, so her and her parents took a road trip and visited with this veteran and his family as a Christmas surprise. BOY what a surprise!!

    I will not post a link to the multiple videos of her visit, since I cannot vouch for the content. I kinda never really liked her pop music, but I had a lot of respect for her songwriting, and her business sense, this just brings it home.. Her Grandfather was also a WWII veteran.

    Megastar Taylor Swift surprised 96-year-old Second World War veteran and Swiftie Cyrus Porter for Christmas by dropping in for a chat and to play a song. She walked into a rapturous reception and once the screaming died down, she played her hit “Shake It Off” on acoustic in a feel-good, singalong performance.

    Swift opened by wishing the family a merry Christmas and giving the kids high fives, before saying to Mr. Porter “My dad sent me a video of you and you said that you wanted to see a concert. I don’t really know when we’re going on tour next, so I figured I’d do one here, and we can do some requests.”

    This is just too good not to share with the castboolits community here.

    Good for her. I don't listen to much music but she is a mega star who isn't in the news for screwing up. Her family should be proud of her.

    There are a few out there. Johnny Depp dressed up like his pirate character and dropped in on a child cancer patient. The Rock does alot of this out of the limelight as does Keanu Reeves

    I didn't see anything against our principles and beliefs and traditions in her dropping in on a veteran and making his day AWESOME! I don't guess you watched the videos.

    I don't support her views and I am not a fan of her music. She done ONE GOOD THING for a WWII veteran and now y'all want to shoot the messenger.

    This was never intended to be a political thread you have a forum for that. Before you hijack this thread and turn it into bashing her over her politics, I will close the thread.
