Taylor Swift gives $50,000 to a leukemia patient on GoFundMe

After affecting serious change in the world of music streaming, noted tech influencer Taylor Swift has moved on to the crowdfunding sphere. GoFundMe announced yesterday that its donation limit was being raised from $15,000 to $50,000, and credited the change to Swift's generosity. She donated the latter amount — presumably in three chunks of $15,000 and a $5,000 kicker — to the Naomi's Fight Against Cancer campaign, which is dedicated to a young girl recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukemia.

This isn't Swift's first time using GoFundMe to help people in need. She donated $15,000 to a Texas firefighter who saved his own wife and son from a car crash last month. Swift has a long history of fan-oriented generosity, from sending fans Christmas care packages to inviting them to hear 1989 at her apartment before its release. (Who can forget the time she met a fan in Central Park and gave her $90 when she mentioned she was going to Chipotle?) But these recent donations seem to fall into the category of straightforward altruism: there aren't any specific references to Taylor Swift fandom in either of the campaigns that have received her generosity.
