The reason Taylor Swift just missed a huge career milestone will warm your heart.

There's fewer than 20 days in the year, but Taylor Swift is still managing to make history.

After wrapping up her highly successful 'Eras Tour', and just one day before her 35th birthday, the singer broke yet another record — this time at the Billboard Music Awards.

The Tortured Poets Department singer swept the night with an incredible 10 awards, bringing her career total to a jaw-dropping 49.

Her haul included Top Artist, Top Female Artist, Top Billboard 200, Top Billboard 200 Album for The Tortured Poets Department, Top Hot 100 Artist, Top Hot 100 Songwriter, Top Radio Songs Artist, Top Billboard 200 Global Artist, Top Billboard Global (excluding US) Artist, and Top Streaming Songs Artist.

She was previously tied with rap artist Drake for 39 awards each, but has now surpassed the One Dance singer. That officially makes her as the most decorated artist in Billboard history.

However, Taylor wasn't at the awards show to collect her gongs and glory — though the All Too Well singer did deliver a pre-recorded acceptance speech, where she said the wins were "exactly what [she] wanted" for an early birthday present.

"Thank you to the Billboard Awards. Thank you to the fans, 'cause Billboard is counting your stuff," she said.

"They're counting what you listen to, the albums that you're passionate about, and so I count these as like fan-voted awards because you guys are the ones who care about our albums and come see us in concert."

She continued: "Everything that has happened with The Eras Tour and The Tortured Poets Department, I just have to say thank you. It means the world to me that you guys have embraced the things I have made, you know?

"And the fact that you've cared so much about my music. This is the nicest early birthday present you could have given me. So, thank you very much, I love it. It's exactly what I wanted."

Beautiful words, as always, Taylor.

But where was the star if not basking in the glow of her big night?

Well, as it turns out, the star chose to spend her birthday eve with fans who needed her sparkle the most.

Visiting the Children's Mercy Kansas City Hospital, Taylor brought smiles to the young patients, taking photos, signing her newly released Eras Tour book, and even joining them in a TikTok dance to her hit song Bad Blood.

The 35-year-old also snuggled up with the hospital's therapy dog, Jellybean.

One sweet interaction saw a child tell the singer: "I like Travis now," referring to Swift's boyfriend, American football star Travis Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Not missing a beat, Taylor replied: "Yes, me too. That's an absolute yes on that one."

Another fan even had a Kansas City Chiefs blanket, featuring multiple players. But instead of a spot for Travis Kelce, the blanket read: "Go Taylor's Boyfriend."

The piece of merch earned a big laugh from the singer, who posed for a photo with the fan.

In another sweet moment, Swift asked the Kelce fan what she wanted for Christmas, to which the girl replied, "A Dyson Airwrap."

Leaving everyone smiling from ear to ear, the singer said her goodbyes.

The next day, a package arrived for the girl who wanted the hair tool... While wearing a Taylor Swift 1989 t-Shirt, the fan tore open the wrapping paper to reveal a $600 Dyson Airdrop Multi-Styler.

Accompanying the package was a handwritten note: "In case Santa doesn't come through. Love, Taylor Swift."

Watch the moment here. Post continues below.

The fan, whose mother shared the video to a Swiftie fan account, was shocked at the gesture, throwing her head back in laughter.

"No way!" a voice added off camera.

Fans were equally touched by the gesture and took to the comments to praise Taylor's generosity.

"Her giving gifts on her own birthday 😭🥹 I picked the right idol," one wrote.

"She's simply the best," wrote a second. "Look at the smile on her face. I know her parents were thrilled. That's a lot off her parents' plate too."

"It's truly inspiring to see someone so famous remain so kind and grounded," wrote another.

"It's a reminder that success and humility can go hand in hand, and their kindness makes their accomplishments shine even brighter."
