On December 13, which marks Taylor Swift’s 34th birthday, Reading Hospital – Tower Health in Pennsylvania celebrated by giving out “Newborn Era” friendship bracelets to parents who welcomed babies on that date. Swift was born at the same hospital 34 years earlier on December 13.
Eleven babies were born at the hospital on Swift’s birthday. To commemorate the occasion, the hospital handed out handmade bracelets to these parents, with the intention of celebrating the coincidental birthday sharing.
Jessica Belzer, a public relations manager at Reading Hospital, mentioned that approximately 60 bracelets were distributed, including to families in maternity, NICU families, and some staff members who are Swift fans.
Charles Barbera, the hospital’s president and CEO, described the gesture as a fun way to provide families with a keepsake for their baby books. Dr. K. Ashley Brandt, chief of the obstetrics section, added that the bracelets were a playful way to honor both Swift and the newborns sharing her birthday.
While the hospital staff hoped that Taylor Swift would appreciate their tribute, the pop star was busy celebrating her birthday in New York City with friends, including Blake Lively and Gigi Hadid. She was seen wearing a “Midnights”-themed dress during her festivities. Taylor Swift’s rumored NFL boyfriend, Travis Kelce, was not present at her birthday celebration, likely due to his Kansas City Chiefs practice schedule.
