After Taylor Swift visits children's hospital, her fandom donates tens of thousands to patients
Hear this story AI-assisted summary Taylor Swift visited Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Florida and befriended 7-year-old heart transplant recipient Majesty Williams. Swift's visit brought joy to patients, families and staff, with one doctor calling her one of the kindest people she'd ever met. Taylor Swift has a new best friend, Majesty Williams, and Swifties are raising funds for the lovable 7-year-old as well as other children the Eras Tour singer met during a recent hospital visit in Florida. Swift visited Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital on June 13, going room-by-room to speak with patients and staff. In a video posted to TikTok, Majesty combs her fingers through Swift's hair. Swift says, "You're so so sweet. She's my best friend." "I like Taylor," the 7-year-old says as she wraps her arms around the singer-songwriter and nestles her head onto Swift's shoulder. " She touched her hair to make sure Taylor was real," her mom, Shaneka Holloman, tells the USA TODAY Network. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. Majesty was born with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a condition where the heart muscle becomes abnormally thick and can block blood flow. At age 2, Majesty underwent a heart transplant. "I don't know whose heart she has, but whoever it was, was full of love, because my baby girl is full of love," her mom says. "She is strong. Three days after the transplant, she was walking down the hallway." Majesty meets Swift On June 12, Holloman received a phone call from the hospital inviting her and her daughter to a function. "They said it was a surprise, but they didn't say what," Holloman says. "They told me to make sure Majesty looks cute. I thought it was going to be a therapy dog." That night, Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce went to Amerant Bank Arena for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals. The following morning Holloman pulled out Majesty's denim dress in their Deerfield Beach, Florida, home. She combed her daughter's hair back in a high ponytail and clasped her golden "M" necklace. Then the mom and daughter drove to the Hollywood, Florida, building. At the hospital, Holloman — with her back to the door — watched her daughter mash Play-Doh. "Then I hear my baby say, 'Taylor Swift,'" Holloman says. "I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to do. This is Taylor Swift, America's sweetheart." The singer and the girl talked for 15 minutes. Like any best friend would, Majesty asked for Swift's phone number. "She's been asking me if we got it, and I told her Taylor may call us one day," Holloman says. Swifties posted photos and videos of the hospital interactions on social media. Some influencers started fundraisers while others shared GoFundMe pages like Majesty's. She will have a heart condition her entire life. Fans raised more than $11,000. One for the books One of the other rooms Swift visited belonged to 2-year-old Aaliyah. The author autographed an Eras Tour book for the little girl who had a brain tumor removed in September. The book appeared on Mercari marketplace selling for $500, and Swifties swooped in. One fan purchased the book and told the Mortensen family to keep it. A GoFundMe was set up with a goal of $100,000. The fandom shared the page and donated $13 increments as a nod to Swift's favorite number raising more than $51,000. "Having to pay for medical bills, traveling, food, rent, and utilities while still trying to make my baby girl feel at home away from home, things have been difficult," mom Crystal Mortensen wrote on the post. "Anything will be greatly appreciated. The journey has just begun and will be a tough one, but my warrior princess got this. She's so strong. She's a fighter." Helping Zoe A third patient, Zoe, has been battling neuroblastoma for almost seven years. According to the GoFundMe that's amassed $18,000+, the brave 10-year-old girl "has faced countless treatments, hospital visits, surgeries and medical challenges with incredible strength. Her journey has been long and difficult, but she continues to inspire everyone around her with her courage and positive spirit." The $100,000 goal would help the family with the financial burden of ongoing treatments. Dr. Jill Whitehouse, the chief of surgery, posted a photo with Swift after her visit. Her caption read in part, "Undeniably one of the kindest human beings I have ever had the privilege of meeting.

Meghan Markle accused of 'hypocrisy' after surprise Archie and Lilibet decision
Meghan Markle has come under fire for posting personal photos of husband Prince Harry with their children Archie and Lilibet to mark Father's Day on Sunday as fans are left confused Meghan Markle has been accused of "blatant hypocrisy" after sharing a sweet Father's Day video featuring Prince Harry and their children, despite previously vowing to keep them out of the spotlight. The clip, which appeared on Meghan's newly launched Instagram account, was intended as a heartwarming tribute to Harry on Father's Day, showing unseen moments between the Duke of Sussex and their young children Archie, six and Lilibet, four. While many fans have labelled the footage charming, royal insiders are questioning the couple's motives. Royal commentator Ingrid Seward, Editor-in-Chief of Majesty magazine, blasted the Duchess of Sussex, 43, in a YouTube interview, accusing her of sending mixed messages about family privacy. "They begged for privacy and now suddenly Meghan is flooding the marketplace with photographs of their children," Ingrid said. She then went further, claiming the couple's online activity is motivated less by connecting with fans and more by profit. "Everything they do online is aimed at them being able to make more money - otherwise why on earth would they do it?" she added. Since stepping back from their senior royal roles in 2020, Harry and Meghan have fiercely protected their children's privacy. They have also championed the importance of online safety through their charity foundation Archwell. Only now are they sharing photos of Archie and Lilibet's faces with the world on Meghan's new Instagram page. And Ingrid suggests that the new Father's Day footage signals a sharp U-turn - one that Prince Harry may not be fully comfortable with. The Instagram clip is part of a new digital rollout under Meghan's lifestyle brand, which has seen her launch a range of products and star in a new Netflix show. Critics argue the couple are increasingly leaning into celebrity culture, despite having once seemingly tried to escape it. While supporters say the video shows a softer, more relatable side to Harry and Meghan, others - like Ingrid- believe it risks undermining their past pleas for privacy. Ingrid adds: "Remember, they have spoken about the media and how damaging it can be for young kids, and the next thing you know, Meghan is posting quite personal and charming photos of her husband everywhere. It just doesn't make sense." The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have yet to respond publicly to the criticism. But with Meghan returning to social media and building a fresh brand presence, royal watchers believe this could be the start of a new - and very public - chapter for the couple. It comes as Meghan spoke out about the 'public narrative' around her marriage in a new interview. The Duchess of Sussex was quizzed on her public image in an appearance on the Aspire by Emma Grede podcast, where she also discussed setting up her own As Ever lifestyle brand, as well as what drives her career goals. On the episode, Emma tells the Duchess: "I wanted to ask you a little bit about the public narrative, because when you sign up to be an actress, you know that people are going to start recognising you, they're going to start speaking to you on the street. But that's very different from what you have now." And Meghan replies: "It is, Emma! It's very different" before laughing. Emma follows up with: "If you could rewrite your public narrative from scratch, is there anything that you would do differently?" To which Meghan says: "Yes, I would ask people to tell the truth." The duchess gave no specifics about to whom who she was referring, but later refers to a 'lie' told eight years ago.
