In addition to her iconic music and her marriage to NFL player Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift is known for her kindness and philanthropic efforts. Over the years, there have been repeated reports of singer ‘Elizabeth Taylor’ giving back to the community or helping struggling fans.
Taylor Swift lends support to struggling fans
Time and again, fans have reported that the singer helped them with bills and other payments. One such case involved a student from Toronto who was studying at the University of Waterloo in 2019 and was faced with massive student loan debt. However, with a big warning, the singer transferred USD 4,800 to the girl’s account. He posted about his struggles earlier and added the information to his account as well. While appearing on “Good Morning America” at the time, the fan detailed her experience, “You know how you go online? And you don’t imagine that Taylor Swift is going to see it — it doesn’t. I honestly had no idea she was going to see it. I was shocked.”
When Taylor Swift helped her fans with their medical bills
In the same year, he again donated about 10,000 USD for a fan’s medical bills. At the time, Trinity Foster was diagnosed with stage four osteosarcoma and posted about a fundraising page to help with treatment costs. The ‘Opalite’ singer saw pictures of Foster having a listening party for one of his albums and learned about his plight at the time.In 2018, he paid $15,500 to a fan who had been quietly struggling with a lot of medical bills. The fan then posted about his condition on social media, revealing that his mother had been in a coma and the family was struggling to cope. The singer gave on her fundraising page and also signed off by simply saying, “Love, Taylor, Meredith and Olivia Swift.”
Taylor Swift extended her support to workers and truck drivers
Singers, in particular, never announce such acts, and they almost always only go public when someone announces the payment, or when some news item breaks the news.Last year, around Christmas time, Swift visited Arrowhead Stadium to watch the Kansas City Chiefs and her fiance, Travis Kelce, play on the field. After the match, the pair ended up interacting with many of the stadium staff, and even tipped everyone worth US$600. Robyn Gentry was one of the employees and posted about the issue online, which went viral.Not only that, after the successful completion of his ‘Eras Tour’, to show his appreciation and love for the team, he distributed gifts and bonuses to everyone. Its truck drivers reportedly received US$100,000 in bonuses. PEOPLE confirmed that bonuses were given to all crew members involved in the tour, including backstage crew members and backstage dancers. The singer spent about $197 million on bonuses alone.He also talked about the “bonus day” in the 6-part docuseries documenting the “Eras Tour”. He mentioned in the series, “A bonus day is very important because setting a precedent with the Eras Tour is very important to me — because the people who work on the road, if they collect more tours, they get more bonuses. These people work very hard, and they are the best at what they do.”
