Taylor Swift has given a young fan a Christmas to remember forever after sending her a thoughtful gift.

The beloved singer visited Children's Mercy Kansas City earlier this month, on the eve of her 35th birthday, and connected with many of the hospital's patients and staff.

Swift continued that bond with a lovely gift for one of the patients who loved the outfit she wore during her visit.

On Sunday, Naya, a Children's Mercy Kansas City patient, shared a video on her TikTok page showing her unwrapping special gifts from Taylor Swift.

Naya's beautifully wrapped gifts included the same plaid Miu Miu set Swift wore during her visit to the hospital earlier in the month. The Italian brand's green button-up shirt and matching pleated mini skirt cost $5,000, per Page Six.

Naya couldn't hide her delight as she gushed about the presents from Swift while unwrapping them on her hospital bed. "Oh my gosh! Made in Italy," she said in excitement.

The delighted Swiftie, who described the gift wrapping as "very much celebrity vibes," also joked that she felt like she was "Taylor Swift."

In addition to the green plaid Miu Miu set, Swift gifted Naya a black bomber jacket.

The "Shake It Off" singer also left Naya a handwritten note that read, "Picked you up a few things I hope you'll think are tea. Merry Christmas! Love Taylor."

She also wrote, "I loved meeting you last week. You were so much fun. So sweet and so nice complimenting me on my outfit."

Swift explained that she intentionally didn't tell Naya where she got her outfit because she wanted to surprise her with a holiday gift.

The 35-year-old singer and Naya had a heartwarming interaction during her visit to the hospital. The young fan told Swift that her outfit was "tea," and the singer said, "Thank you for saying my outfit was tea. You made my day with that! Like, walking in, you were just so sweet, so friendly, and so lovely."

Swift also signed an autograph on a copy of her Eras Tour book for Naya.

Accompanying the post was a video of several children who benefited from the "Blank Space" singer's generosity thanking her.

Swift visited Children's Mercy Kansas City on the eve of her 35th birthday. There, she met with Naya and other patients, the hospital's staff, and specially trained facility dogs. She also made their day by posing for photographs and interacting with them.

Some of the patients' guardians shared the pictures on social media, including Anita Belt, Rylie's grandmother. In a Facebook post, Belt gushed about Rylie's interaction with Swift. She shared some pictures Rylie and the pop star took and captioned the post, "Children's Mercy Hospital does their best to nurse seriously ill children, comfort family, and bring a little joy when they can. Today did not disappoint!"

Belt also wrote, "Thank you Taylor Swift for bringing some joy to Rylie today!! One of the nurses said Travis Kelce was in the building as well, but didn't stop in his room. Great way to bring a smile and make a memory!"
