The superstar made a surprise visit to his home, where she was greeted with an outpouring of excitement. Once the cheers settled, Swift picked up her acoustic guitar and performed her upbeat hit \u201cShake It Off,\u201d turning the gathering into a fun-filled sing-along.<\/p>\n<p>Swift kicked off the surprise by wishing the family a Merry Christmas and sharing high-fives with the kids before addressing Mr. Porter. \u201cI saw a video where you said you wanted to see a concert. Since I\u2019m not sure when I\u2019ll be touring again, I thought I\u2019d bring the concert to you,\u201d she told him, offering to play some songs based on his requests.<\/p>\n<p>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 \u201cShake It Off,\u201d with children dancing and the entire family singing along.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Taylor Swift Surprises 96yo WW2 Vet &amp; Superfan for Christmas - New Madrid, MO\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KJ-S6kg99t4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Chris Porter, a family member, posted the unforgettable moment online, praising Swift\u2019s sincerity.
