Taylor Swift fans run to her defence after amount she donated to hurricane relief efforts is slammed online
Taylor Swift’s $5 million donation for hurricane relief sparked unexpected backlash from some who argue that her contribution is too small given her billionaire status. While many applauded her generosity, critics expressed disappointment, claiming she could have given more.
Feeding America CEO Claire Babineaux-Fontenot thanked Swift for her donation to Hurricane Helene and Milton relief efforts. “This contribution will help communities rebuild and recover, providing essential food, clean water, and supplies to people affected by these devastating storms,” she said. However, a few online comments pointed out that $5 million is minor in comparison to Swift’s wealth. One critic wrote, “She is a billionaire. 5 million is like $10 to most of us.”
Swift’s fans quickly defended her, noting that she didn’t have to donate at all. One fan stated, “If I see one person talking about how $5 million is nothing to her then you donate 5 mil.” Despite the criticism, many praised Swift for her consistent charity work.
