Taylor Swift, known for her hit ‘Fortnight’, surprised Ellen Pompeo by writing her the ‘biggest check’ for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Pompeo, on The Jennifer Hudson Show, shared how Swift didn’t hesitate to support the hospital’s innovative programme, which records parents singing or reading for their NICU babies.
The actress from ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ was inspired by her volunteer work there and, despite only meeting Swift on set for 20 minutes, asked for a donation. Swift’s quick generosity strengthened Pompeo’s bond with her daughters, who found it impressive.
Pompeo recounts, ‘Taylor is such a good girl. I didn’t know her and she invited me to be in the video, and I thought, ‘Oh, that would be fun. I went and did the video. It was the easiest thing, like an hour or two.’ Swift’s spontaneous charity extended much further than expected, gaining her admiration from the family.
Beyond this gesture, Swift’s reputation for kindness is well established. After her massive Eras Tour, she distributed a whopping $197 million in bonuses to all involved, including truck drivers, caterers, and security staff. She expressed her gratitude after a final show in Canada, noting the tour as her most exciting challenge yet.
This act mirrors that moment with Pompeo, showing Swift’s consistent appreciation for those around her. Celebrities across the globe highlighted this as an example of her remarkable spirit, sharing moments from her record-breaking shows.
Taylor Swift continues to set an inspiring example of generosity in the entertainment industry.
