Swift kicked off the surprise by wishing the family a Merry Christmas and sharing high-fives with the kids before addressing Mr. Porter. “I saw a video where you said you wanted to see a concert. Since I’m not sure when I’ll be touring again, I thought I’d bring the concert to you,” she told him, offering to play some songs based on his requests.
During their conversation, Swift revealed that her grandfather was also a WWII veteran, and Mr. Porter, at 96, proved he was still full of life by standing up to share a short story from his time in the war. The atmosphere was filled with laughter and joy as Swift, with guitar in hand, performed an energetic version of “Shake It Off,” with children dancing and the entire family singing along.
Chris Porter, a family member, posted the unforgettable moment online, praising Swift’s sincerity. He shared, “Taylor Swift showed true humility and integrity. She didn’t make a big entrance—she was genuinely touched by our enthusiastic reception.”
