We're sure a certain guy -- first name beginning with "C", last name "Harris" -- would be loving a serenade from Taylor Swift right now, but these kids deserve it more.

Swift, who has been hanging out in Australia recently, made an impromptu visit to the Lady Cilento Children's Hospital in the city of Brisbane on Tuesday.

While in the midst of selfies and high fives, Swift also took some time out to perform "Shake It Off" to a handful of lucky kids. One of which was named Preston, who couldn't help but sing along as he sat next to the pop star.

The video was posted by Childrens Health QLD on their Twitter page on Wednesday evening. Watch and there is a pretty good chance you'll be smiling right along these kids.
