She's now extending her generosity to record store Grimey's, based in her hometown, Nashville.
Rolling Stone reported that Taylor Swift sent money for each employee, as well as three months' worth of health care.
The store's co-owner, Doyle Davis, was not expecting the help and is extremely grateful. "We were very surprised, and I would have to say amazed, that Taylor Swift reached out to us through her publicist to offer some relief during the COVID-19 pandemic," he said. "I didn’t even know we were on her radar, but she really stepped up to help after the recent tornadoes that struck Nashville and middle Tennessee, and now she’s trying to help a beloved small business in her city."
"Taylor generously offered some direct relief to my staff and to cover three months of our health care costs for our group-insurance plan," he added. "It’s a huge deal to us, and now I have some peace of mind as we apply for [Small Business Administration] loans to pay rent, vendors, and other expenses. This assistance from Ms. Swift helps give us a real shot at coming back on the other side of this."
Taylor's generosity is incredibly heartwarming and giving much-needed hope during dark times ❤️.
