on the 4th of July weekend is certainly a good strategy to avoid publicity, I will give her that....

It takes the news off Trump! He's probably big mad that Taylor got bigger ratings than his Mt. Rushmore bullshit did!

Sheesh, it can actually happen!

What a relief! What a PLEASURE!!!

Wonder how long it’ll be before we get another one of these breaks?

Yeah, I have an Alexa so I can listen to NPR in my kitchen. I unplug her when the dealer gets here. 🤣
Happy what’s left if our independence day

... and allow me to express my gratitude for the pressure on the arteries of all his voters, as well.

Is missing most all celebrity hoopla.
I dod find out about their gift to Dolly's library fund. That is very nice.

I try to ignore/avoid any and all celebrity goings on.

At the end of the day, they're just people. It's their fans that make them what they are.

I had to google just now to find out who the hell Taylor Swift was about to marry. I didn't even know she and Travis Kelce were still a couple, and now I see the event happened yesterday. Congratulations and best wishes to the happy couple from the cave I've evidently been living in!

I knew who her boyfriend is, but I knew nothing about a wedding this weekend. I’m kind of proud to say that.

Should have been larger. I’d like to see those idiots’ tax returns—charitable contributions were probably zero.

Leave Taylor Swift alone. She's always donated generously to charity.

How much has DJT and his evil spawn ever donated? They collected money for charities and then kept every dime. Is that better?

Than do Swift and Kelce, donated?

And it takes a LOT of work and focus and discipline to maintain that.

It's kind of infuriating to see it and phrases like that (i.e. "what they're worth" )because it puts a spotlight on some people's ignorance and gullibility.

Net worth is assets minus liabilities. What you own minus what you owe. It is NOT available cash on hand. To realize the figure known as her net worth, TS would need to sell everything she owns. Then, after paying any and all outstanding loans, invoices, and other liabilities, only then would she have access to an amount of cash equivalent to her net worth.

It is depressing that helping kids, seniors, and the poor in this country depends on private charity or kowtowing to religious organizations.

If the people bitching that they gave too little at least have the consistency to vote for higher taxes on the wealthy, there's some consistency there.

But I'm betting a bunch of complainers are "lower my taxes" types who just don't like the couple's politics.

I’m 67. But she was playing in New Orleans in 2023?
I was on a flight that weekend from Panamá to MSY, and the joy on that airplane. I didn’t know it was a Swiftie weekend, but the pilot played her music. The flight attendant traded bracelets or whatever that deal was. The entire flight was hilarious and my favorite experience in the air ever.
It took me all these decades to really enjoy flying. And all these teens/ twenty something’s started calling me Grandpa, and it was SO the opposite of insulting.

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for posting

IMHO, these two are an amazing couple Not only are they at the top of their game in their respective fields (or have been), they are seemingly kind and generous people. It's heartening to see them be positive role models.

This country would be such a better place. Sadly wealthy elites are very greedy and usually only "help" others including charities when it directly benefits them like say a huge tax write off. This is why we need to tax them under the same rates Eisenhower taxed them.

Would be a quarter of his worth

That is significant

Pennies

This billionaire adoration for the equivalent of throwing out their pocket change, is disgusting.

$26 million dollars is a fraction of a fraction of her wealth. She will literally make that money back and then some before her head hits the pillow the day she gave it a way.

All billionaires are scum.

She has given before and absolutely will be donating again in the future. She and her fiance have both worked hard for their money and have the right to select how it will be used.

More gratitude, less judgment.

with her privileged constant private jet use. ITs disgusting

what she gives in charity is a small % of her multibillion dollar worth

negative? LOL

and turn the ignition key.

Or turn on the A/C or heat in your residence.

Or turn on any electrical device.

We all contribute to carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere.

To me taking the public bus? Reductio ad absurdum. Her carbon footprint is 1000x mine , at least

And I am certain your carbon footprint extends beyond using the bus. By the way, I do think your use of public transportation is a good thing.

it was more travel than during her entire eras tour. it is obscene and indefensible.

I dont think anyone deserves such privilege, but some people still put others up on pedestals and make excuses for billionaires.

and again, comparing my footprint (with me not even owning a car) with her jet travel, not to mention all the merchandising she does and all the fans traveling on planes to her shows is laughable. the argument boils down to emotions for her and granting some people special privileges to harm the environment

How much have you given?

My post is complimenting her.

Thank you for your post, my reply wasn't directed at you, and I'll try to be more considerate when posting, Sometimes I reply as a comment, and wanted to point out her gifts during and since the Eras tour. I work in the music business and I'm extremely proud and inspired by her generosity.

are truly out of touch with what she has done financially for many charities and how much she means to millions of fans. Lighten up, Francis.

She had backstage passes for herself, Mike and their 10 y.o. daughter. Taylor took time during the pre-concert preparations to spend a minute or two with Mike's daughter., making the child feel recognized and appreciated.

charity providing food in the US. I think it's called The Store, started by Brad Paisley and Kimberly Williams-Paisley.

Sadly, I have no idea what her music is,

May they know bliss and happiness.
May they feel the satisfaction of parenthood.
May they devote their attention to their progeny.

I always expect the worst in these threads, useless juvenile anger. Embarrassing.

just realizing how broken the system is

fortunately, a few people with money try to do the good and proper thing... it is just that help for those in need should not be dependent on a few good people... the gov't (we the people) should be helping each other

She has had the power to change the music industry for the better, turning the tables on her corporate bosses and standing up for talent in ways no other artist could. If I had a daughter I’d be happy if she were a Swiftie — she’s a great example of working hard, giving back and breaking the rules when they NEED breaking.

Under the radar. She’s been very generous for a long time, and it just shows her character.
