Taylor Swift Stuns Fan With $15.5K Donation

A Utah woman owes big thanks to Taylor Swift and her two cats. Over the weekend, Swift fan Sadie Bartell tweeted a link to a GoFundMe page raising money for her mother, Lauriann Bartel, who's been in a coma for three years since suffering brain damage linked to a bleeding ulcer, per Fox 13. "I'm grateful to Taylor for keeping me afloat through it all," wrote 19-year-old Bartell, who has five siblings being cared for full-time by their father, per CNN. Prompting disbelief, Swift not only saw the tweet, but donated $15,500 to the campaign, which has now raised $26,714 of a $40,000 goal. "Love, Taylor, Meredith and Olivia Swift," signed the singer, giving the names of her two cats. Billboard lists more generous acts by Swift, like this $1 million donation. (More Taylor Swift stories.)
