24. Like many on DU, I am old enough to be her mother
Tue Dec 23, 2025, 09:31 PM
Tuesday

and I am not really a fan of her music (different generation).

However here was something that Billboard put together of some of her "known" contributions - A Timeline of Taylor Swift’s Generosity

I also know that her current fiance (Travis Kelce) has a brother Jason, who is a retired Philadelphia Eagle, who has been very active here in Philly (despite not being from here) for charity and he and former teammates (who are still on the team) - Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson, have recorded annual Christmas albums for charity (I bought all of them so far) and this year included adorable stuffed dolls of themselves (and did a music video this year) -



(and yes that's the 3 of them singing)

This was the first year they did it (done in 2022) and was their "making of" video -



and last year's -



Fortunately there are many of these folks who ARE giving unlike douchebags like fucking Muskrat, who spends his time TAKING and HOARDING.
