  • Taylor has also helped out Swifties and donated to them especially during the COVID Pandemic; paying off student loans, paying for a child's service dogs, or using GoFundMe to fund patients who have cancer.
She donated so much to one fan battling Leukemia that GoFundMe had to change their policy to increase the limit on the amount you could donate. 






















She even donates when she's inspired by her fans. Taylor felt happy about one of her fan's "Christmas Tree Farm" themed Christmas display, so she donated to a Twinsburg(OH) food bank.
