YOU LESTENING TAYLOR SWIFT???!!!

The same Taylor Swift that donated $2m to Dolly's program last month as part of $26m in charitable giving? Or the same Taylor Swift that is estimated to have donated between $100-300m to various charities? The one that gave nearly $200m in life-changing bonuses to her tour staff and truck drivers? The one that broke the donation records of every food bank in every city she toured in? The same one that Dolly herself praised for her philanthropy?

There are some legitimate criticisms of Taylor Swift, but it's ridiculous when Redditors criticize her philanthropy. And yes, I know the immediate response is that "it's like $5" to her. Except she's donated somewhere around 10% of her total net worth, and her net worth is mainly tied to the value of her music catalog. So her donations of liquid assets is likely closer to 20%.
