Taylor Swift visits Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, meets with kids in Florida
Taylor Swift turned a day at a hospital into a memory of a lifetime for patients battling illness in Hollywood, "Florida!!!"
The "Tortured Poet" singer met with patients at the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital on the only Friday the 13th of 2025, appropriate because her favorite number is 13. She wore a sage Loewe cotton blend poplin dress. In a video posted to X, Swift waved entering a patient's room. "Nice to meet you," she said followed by, "I like your hair, so cool."

Hospital drop in after date night
The hospital visit came the morning after she and boyfriend Travis Kelce had a date night in Amerant Bank Arena for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final.
The couple caught the NHL matchup between the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers. One lucky fan seated near Swift wearing a "Midnights" cardigan caught the eye of the singer. The two took selfies. In a video posted to X, Swift grabs the cellphone and says, "I've got it. I've got really long arms."

Long live the Eras Tour with our enchanting book
Swift visits Kansas City hospital on Dec. 12
If her visit is similar to Children's Mercy Hospital trip in Kansas City, she may have gifts sent to the patients. Six months ago – fresh out the Eras Tour – the singer made an unannounced appearance on the pediatric oncology and hematology floors. She created TikToks, autographed concert books and talked with patients.
Days before Christmas, Swift sent follow-up presents to the patients, including the same outfit she wore to the hospital that a TikTok user named Naya complimented and a $600 Dyson Airwrap for a girl named Scarlett with the note, "In case Santa doesn't come through. Love, Taylor."

‘All I Get Is Old Men:' Man Buys Classic Chevrolet to Get Attention From Women. It Backfires

A man's scheme to attract the female gaze by purchasing a vintage car ultimately backfired. Johnny (@canadajuice) shared his woes in a viral TikTok that's accrued more than 1.2 million views on the popular social media platform. In the video, he airs his grievances over the consequences of his buy. 'I bought this car for attention from women.' he says, speaking directly into the camera and ambling through an indoor parking garage. Following this, he directs his camera toward an early model Chevy Impala as he holds a guitar in hand. However, Johnny says that only older dudes seem to care that he's currently riding around in a classic. 'And all I get is old men saying put down your window son. You weren't even alive when that car was being made…' his video cuts out before he completes his sentence. Commenters React Despite his frustrations, several folks had differing opinions about Johnny's vehicle and the interest it would garner. One TikToker argued that there are certainly some members of the opposite sex who'd be intrigued by his wheels. 'Any woman who watches Supernatural will give you attention,' one said. Someone else echoed the aforementioned sentiment, and even gave Johnny some pointers on how to capitalize on the Supernatural demographic. 'You just need a flannel shirt and a worn-out leather jacket like Dean Winchester.' Winchester drove one on the long-running, 20-year-old show . Another remarked that the older men trying to lecture the TikToker about the age of his vehicle are probably envious: 'They're jealous they don't have the swag you have,' one wrote. One woman told Johnny that they had their interest piqued by his post and video. Another replied: 'I'll give you some attention…' But someone else speculated another piece of Johnny's property showcased in his clip will likely get more eyes on him: 'The guitar is probably going to get you more attention from women than the car.' Classic Impala The Chevrolet Impala model Johnny shows off in his video appears to have been manufactured in the 1970s. Newer Impala models, from 1994 and up, are known to have several recurring problems. This includes oil dripping and exhaust manifold woes, along with engine cooling issues. The brand's automatic transmission hasn't seemed to really win over driving enthusiasts, either. More on the Impala Big Chevy Barn Find Sees Camaro, Impala, Square Body Pickup Collecting Dust Chevy Impala Dies Today, 62 Years Since The Original's Launch Additionally, there are braking system faults to keep an eye out for. Older Impalas have their own set of issues, but there are many car enthusiasts who have a fondness for these cars. Like this YouTuber who called the 1967 Chevrolet Impala the best ride the brand has ever made . Should I Buy a Classic Car? Anytime one purchases a car that's decades old, there are a slew of issues that need to be addressed. Locating parts can oftentimes be a drag, as classic components may need to be special-ordered. Moreover, many of these rides have probably been sitting dormant for years on end. Which means that a lack of use could necessitate deep cleaning and restoration on key components. Furthermore, drivers can expect to forego a lot of modern standard amenities and luxuries. There are some benefits to riding around in a vintage vehicle, however. Despite oftentimes requiring meticulous upkeep, unlike many newer cars, vintage cars can be an asset. It's not uncommon for highly sought-after older cars to increase in value. Furthermore, because they were manufactured in a different era, they can bypass specific inspection and emissions guidelines . Then there's the added benefit of the coolness factor: It's hard to argue against the aesthetic of a classic Impala. Conversely, later model offerings pale in comparison with its more utilitarian, boring-everyday-sedan design language. Classic: Simple and Reliable? On one hand, getting a vintage, cobwebbed-garage car up and running is a tall order. Troubleshooting parts, getting all of the components firing reliably, and abstaining from modern commuter comforts is certainly a learning curve. Although there is something to be said about the simplicity of said vehicles. And handling a classic Impala may feel like piloting a yacht on asphalt. But these cars do have fans. This YouTube user calls the 1976 Chevrolet Impala 'America's ultimate classic car.' Invariably, more feature-packed vehicles are going to be prone to more issues. For instance, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio , which is hardly a ubiquitous SUV when compared to, let's say, the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Between 2017 and 2024, there were 9 separate recalls for this particular model. Incorrectly labeled tire sizes. Brake pedal detachments. Front airbag deployment problems. Brake rotor fractures. Rotor and shaft separations. Side curtain airbag engagement issues. All of these problems occurred after just seven years. Conversely, the 1976 Chevrolet Impala, despite being around for nearly 50 years, has just one safety recall issued . And that's for its hydraulic braking system, where a differential proportional valve needs to be swapped out. Its engine has been praised as stalwart and reliable, and could most likely stand the test of time with routine maintenance. Vintage Chevrolet Impala: Worth it? If you're considering getting a classic car, ensure that you have adequate time and resources dedicated to giving it the TLC it'll probably need. Perhaps you, too, could find yourself getting head nods from older men. And maybe bedroom eyes from Supernatural viewers. Motor1 has reached out to Johnny via TikTok comment for further information.

Panthers' Sam Bennett goes full Wolf of Wall Street on future

The post Panthers' Sam Bennett goes full Wolf of Wall Street on future appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Florida Panthers have won the Stanley Cup again and are still celebrating. At a nightclub on Thursday night, Conn Smythe winner Sam Bennett took the microphone. A lot has been made throughout the postseason about Bennett and his expiring contract, specifically whether or not the Panthers could keep him. On Thursday, he pulled out a Jordan Belfort impression that should have fans fired up. Bennett grabs the mic, quiets the crowd, and tells them that he is 'Not F***ing Leaving!' Fog machines are firing off, the crowd is going wild, and the Panthers may have their second-line center for a long time. But this does not constitute a signed contract in the eyes of the National Hockey League. TSN and The Athletic insider Pierre LeBrun reminded fans of that on Friday. Advertisement 'I believe Bennett for sure that's what he wants to happen. But there remains a negotiation to be had. Still not sure where it's going to go for sure,' LeBrun reported. So, nothing is locked in as of now. The Panthers should want to keep Bennett as a key member of two Stanley Cup teams. And Bennett should not be eager to leave a place where he fits like a glove. If he does reach the open market, he could make an incredible salary. But those places wouldn't be the back-to-back Champions. The other name for Panthers fans to keep their eyes on is Aaron Ekblad. He has done everything short of becoming Leo DiCaprio, saying multiple times he does not want to leave Florida. But with Bennett due a massive raise and Seth Jones chewing up space, Ekblad could be pushed out. If he takes a discount, he could be a Panther for life. Otherwise, the former first-overall pick could be the odd man out. NHL free agency begins on July 1.
