Leukaemia patient Ben went into hospital for a bone marrow transplant last month and received a very lovely surprise visit from Taylor Swift. He even got to perform a duet with her. According to Buzzfeed, Taylor traveled from Rhode Island to meet patients at the hospital as a surprise organized by staff. Ben said he was given a five-minute warning before she arrived.
“I was so nervous I couldn’t do anything but sit on the edge of my bed in anticipation,” he recalled. Taylor asked Ben to play something for her on the piano in his room.
“I had recently been working on #Adele’s “Someone Like You,” so I asked if she would sing along while I played, to which she kindly obliged,” Ben said “Taylor was amazing. She was definitely as nice (or nicer) as she came across in the video. It was so nice of her to visit everyone in the hospital.”
“She is very down-to-earth and affable, and because of that my nerves immediately went away as soon as I started talking with her. She is a great, kind person, and I will never forget her visit – I thank God that I was able to have such a wonderful experience as that!”
Ben was lucky he had a sibling donor in his younger brother, who was 100% match. He is asking for people to sign up to BeTheMatch.org so more people in his situation will get a chance to received a perfect match. Watch the clip below.
