Ryan Seacrest on Friday opened a radio studio in Nashville — one unlike any other in Music City — and invited his friend Taylor Swift to celebrate.
The "American Idol" host and disc jockey was in town to celebrate the launch of Seacrest Studios at Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt. The 723-square-foot facility will let hospital patients into the recording/broadcasting process and will be the site of interviews, musical performances, video shoots and other programs.
The glass-encased studio overlooks the hospital entrance and lobby. It's the 10th facility the Ryan Seacrest Foundation has built in a pediatric hospital.
"We've always wanted to be at this facility in Nashville because there's a constant flow of entertainment coming to this city," Seacrest told The Tennessean. "The folks that we've talked to, both in music and outside of music, are really excited to have this — to be able to come in and talk to all of the kids at once in one place."
Swift's appearance was a perfect example — and a total surprise for the studio guests. "Perhaps you'll recognize my friend," Seacrest said to his audience as the singer came into view.
Swift said she first got to visit one of Seacrest's studios in Philadelphia two years ago, and saw "an opportunity for the kids to find excitement and to express their creativity."
