These kids just got a major surprise thanks to a visit from Taylor Swift

The Grammy-winning songstress, who is currently traveling in Australia with new beau Tom Hiddleston, spent Tuesday evening surrounded by children at Lady Cliento Children's Hospital in South Brisbane. According to social media, the kids were just as happy to see the "Blank Space" star. 

"Thank you Taylor Swift for dropping by the Lady Cilento Children's Hospital this afternoon to give our patients and families a special surprise they'll never forget," the hospital's Facebook page read. "They'll never 'shake off' the memories you made tonight."

The star-studded visit was coordinated by the Starlight Children's Foundation, a non-profit organization aimed at supporting teenagers through their sicknesses. 

No surprise visit from Swift would be complete without a few selfies. "Thank you, Sam, for sharing this great pic of you and Taylor Swift with us," the hospital captioned a photo of one patient posed with Taylor. "We hear you made quite the impression!"

While Taylor spent four hours at the private visit, Hiddleston headed off to work. The actor is currently filming Thor: Ragnarok, for which he has reprised his role as Loki in the popular franchise.

During their month of dating, the couple has wasted no time taking their romance international, jetting off to Italy, Hiddleston's native England, the United States and now Australia. According to a source, Swift "loves traveling with Tom," who "makes her feel so safe." In fact, it seems their time together has been nothing short of smooth sailing. 

"They are the real deal," the source said. "They laugh and travel well together. These past few weeks, they have learned many things about each other...she is getting very attached."

Plus, don't let their brief courtship fool you—though it has only been about four weeks since the world first saw their surprising smooch on the rocks in Rhode Island, Swift can see a future with Tom at her side. 

"This is the kind of a man she would want to marry," the source said. "She has said he would make a great dad. They have talked about what they want in the future and kids are something that they would both like down the line. They have very real and serious conversations about life."
