Last month, Pompeo applauded Swift while reminiscing on meeting her for the first time while filming the "Bad Blood" music video.
"At the time, Chris and I, we do a lot of volunteering for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles here and they have an amazing program at Children’s where they make music for the babies in the NICU and for the parents who have to go to work all day and they can’t be with the kids," she explained during a guest appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show.
The hospital's program needed money, "so I just got up the hooks and asked Taylor, ‘Could you write me a big old check for Children’s?’"
"And she knew me all but 20 minutes and that girl wrote me the biggest check without blinking an eye," Pompeo shared.
