Furry Friends Bring Swift's Eras Tour to Hospital

Several dogs and a miniature horse brought the magic of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour to patients at UCLA Mattel Children's Hospital who couldn't attend the real concert. This special event gave children a chance to experience the joy of Swift's tour from their hospital beds.

The UCLA People-Animal Connection

The event was organized by the UCLA People-Animal Connection, a program dedicated to fostering emotional healing for critically ill patients and their families. Through animal therapy, this organization brings comfort and happiness to those facing difficult medical challenges.

A Fashionable Red Carpet Event

The Eras Tour fashion show took place outside the Ronald Reagan Medical Center in Westwood, California. Each therapy animal dressed up as their favorite Taylor Swift album and strutted down a red carpet to her music. The furry models showed off their themed outfits while bringing smiles to everyone watching.

Bringing Joy Inside the Hospital

After the outdoor fashion show concluded, the therapy animals didn't stop there. They paraded through the halls of UCLA Mattel Children's Hospital, visiting patients who couldn't make it outside. This special parade brought the excitement directly to children confined to their rooms.

Swiftie Traditions Included

The organizers paid attention to all the details that make Taylor Swift concerts special. They distributed official Eras Tour merchandise throughout the fashion show and during the hospital parade. And just like at actual Eras Tour concerts, they passed out friendship bracelets while making their rounds—a beloved tradition among Swift's fans.

An Encore Performance

The fashion show was such a hit that patients requested an encore performance. The therapy animals and their handlers were happy to oblige, putting on a second fashion show at the UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center. This allowed even more patients to experience the joy of the Swiftie celebration.
