Pop star Taylor Swift showed love to some of her fans impacted by the coronavirus by giving them $3,000 each.
The singer gave fans Holly Turner and Samantha Jacobson $3,000 after reading on social media about their hardships caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
“Holly, you’ve always been there for me. I want to be there for you right now,” Swift wrote on Tumblr. “I hope this helps. Love, Taylor.”
Turner was shocked.
A music photographer and graphic designer, she has contemplated leaving New York City because of mounting bills.
