Taylor Swift Encourages Fan To Get Her 'Learn On' With Nearly $5K Toward Tuition

With the release of Taylor Swift's seventh studio album, Lover, coming up on August 23, it's hard to imagine that the pop star has time give attention to, well, anything else. However as busy as she is, Swift has still managed to find time for other things — like donating thousands of dollars to fans who are struggling to stay afloat financially, for example. 


It all began when Ayesha Khurram, a diehard Swiftie, took to her personalized Tumblr account to vent about not being able to afford her education. "I truly cannot afford my tuition or rent this semester so in the event you wanna help me out i'm honestly at that point where I can't really reject it," she wrote. In an extra comment on the post, she clarified that she was "$5k short." Lo and behold, $6,386.46 CAD — which amounts to roughly $4,800 USD — magically appeared in her PayPal account from Taylor Country, LLC. "Ayesha, get your learn on girl," Swift wrote and also the donation. "I love you! Taylor."


Understandably, Khurram was in disbelief over Swift's generosity, and to express her gratitude, she took to Instagram to share proof of the PayPal transaction. "I posted about struggling with paying for tuition," she wrote in the caption. "Two hours later, I get this in my email. I have no words and I can't stop crying." Khurram also posted a reaction video on Tumblr, thanking Swift for routinely being there for her. "Taylor, I love you so much," she mentioned through tears. "Every single time in my life that I have been going through something, you've been there for me … thank you, I love you so much!"


Nevertheless as all devoted Swifties know, this definitely isn't the initial time Swift has gone above and behind for her fans. In October 2018, she quietly donated over $15K to a 19-year-old fan whose mom had been in a coma for three years. The year before, she helped a pregnant fan buy a home right after struggling to create ends meet. And back in 2015, the "You Need to Calm Down" songstress didn't think twice about gifting a fan $1,989 (a nod to her 1989 album) to help pay off student cash advances. So if you're looking for proof that even the hugest pop stars in the world can find time to give back, here it is.
