I don't think Taylor Swift will miss the money she has given to a Go Fund Me Migrant.

Taylor isn't short of publicity either, a nice donation - good luck for the future Vitoria.

[Zacs-Master]

Would you rather she hadn’t given her the money?

[aelmpvw]

why do people think there's an ulterior motive when celebs make donations?

[anneasquith]

A nice gesture, a happy student.

[puzzled54]

I thought it was a really nice gesture, it’s probably not a lot of money to Taylor swift but it’s life changing for Vitoria. Let’s celebrate good news instead of looking for ulterior motives

[Mamyalynne]

To be fair to Hans, he was only asking a question.

There's every chance he thinks it a wonderful piece of news.

[anneasquith]

To be fair to Hans, we were only answering his question .

[Mamyalynne]

We are, it's great to have good news posted for a change.

[ummmm]

I doubt Taylor went to the press.

What a mean-spirited post by Hans - even if you dress it up as a 'question', it's an obvious slur.

Both Ms Swift and the recipient of her gift have achieved a great deal in their lives - that one chooses to share a little of her fortune with the other is worthy of praise, not mealy-mouthed scorn.

[anneasquith]

Strange, I don’t see it as a slur.

[dannyk13]

Rather an ill conceived post.

[Lie-in King]

Well said, s-d. Good luck to Vitoria & well-played, Ms Swift.

dannyk13.....Is that the best answer you are able to give to my personal question to you. ?

Hans.

[Mamyalynne]

Hans, may I ask you - do you think Taylor donated to Vitoria simply to gain publicity or from the goodness of her heart?

[sunny-dave]

The whole tenor of your post (including the title) is that :

"Ms Swift has made a donation of a pittance (to her) in order to achieve some cheap publicity"

I think that's a slur on her good name and intentions, which does you no credit in the making of it.

Dressing it up as a 'question' is a transparent attempt to be able to avoid any subsequent criticism of your intentions - which attempt fails miserably in my view (and that of others).

[sunny-dave]

A useful request for clarification from mamya - although I think it is scarcely needed.

[Mamyalynne]

I was trying to give the OP the benefit of the doubt - inept wording perhaps?

I think that premise is slipping away now.

Ms Taylor will have suffered many slings and arrows on social media over the years, I doubt another will get to her.
