The pair sang Adele's "Someone Like You" during her visit to Boston Children's hospital.

Speaking to BuzzFeed News, Ben said Swift traveled from Rhode Island to meet patients at the hospital as a surprise organised by staff.

Ben said he was given a five-minute warning before the pop star came into his room.

"I was so nervous I couldn't do anything but sit on the edge of my bed in anticipation," he recalled.

Ben said Swift asked him to play something for her on the piano in his room

"I had recently been working on Adele's "Someone Like You," so I asked if she would sing along while I played, to which she kindly obliged," he said.

"Taylor was amazing. She was definitely as nice (or nicer) as she came across in the video. It was so nice of her to visit everyone in the hospital," the 20-year-old said.

"She is very down-to-earth and affable, and because of that my nerves immediately went away as soon as I started talking with her," he recalled.

"She is a great, kind person, and I will never forget her visit – I thank God that I was able to have such a wonderful experience as that!"

Ben told BuzzFeed there had been no complications since his transplant and he had managed to stay well.

He said he was lucky he had a sibling donor in his younger brother meaning he had a 100% match.

He is asking for people to sign up to BeTheMatch.org so more people in his situation have the chance of receiving a perfect match.
