A couple of months ago she gave Nick's Kids $250.000. Quote TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- Grammy-winning country music artist Taylor Swift has donated $150,000 to the Tuscaloosa City Schools' Disaster Relief Fund to benefit the schools impacted by the April 27 tornado. Alberta Elementary School, University Place Elementary School and University Place Middle School each will receive $50,000 as they seek to replace supplies and materials following the devastating storm that ripped through the city.

Great to see that out of someone so young!

My daughter likes her. She is knocking down the coins. Plus she is real young, in her early 20s. She has a choice between donating to causes like Tuscaloosa or give that money to the IRS. She must have some good people that handle her affairs.

She plays an instrument and writes her own songs. She is very mature for her age. He seems to have a kind heart and willing to share her wealth will the less fortunate. My kids listen to her all the time. I even like some of her music.

Plus, she ain't hard to look at, either. ;)

That word was first written in To Kill a Mockingbird. That wasn't the only colorful words in that book either. I wonder if they will make it PC like Mark Twain's books. I still tell my 16 year old son to be careful around girls and don't catch any "cooties". |
