American singer-songwriter, Taylor Swift has left at least two fans startled after she sent them $3,000 each to ease their coronavirus-related hardships.
One of the fans was Samantha Jacobson – a longtime Swift fan and cocktail server at Disney World in Orlando, Fla.
Jacobson had lost her job for at least 30 days after her third-party-owned bar shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic.
On Tuesday, Jacobson expressed her pain for not being able to contribute to Taylor’s charity fund.
“I wish so badly that I could donate to the link Taylor provided [to the charity Feeding America] but because of COVID-19 my job, my only source of income, is closed for a minimum of 30 days. I have no job, no income, no way to pay my bills rn. If anyone happens to be able to donate and has it in their hearts to do so, anything really really helps with bills right now,” Jacobson wrote on Tumblr.
However, on Wednesday, Jacobson was contacted by her longtime idol, Taylor Swift, and this happened:

Holly Turner, another fan in New York, likewise tweeted that she received $3,000 from Swift on Wednesday:
