“Samantha, I saw your tweet about being stressed about bills piling up and I want to help,” Swift wrote. “What’s the best way I can gift you $3000? Do you have PayPal?”
A fan on Tumblr, named Leah, stressed over her funds due to the pandemic, and was treated by the “Delicate” hitmaker”s contribution.
“Leah, I’m so sorry this situation has caused you so much stress and I hope a gift of $3000 will help,” a note from Taylor read. “Can you send me your PayPal account please?”
