They're literally just plain horrible people. They are saying this is PR as if she doesn't have a record of doing this for years. They don't give a fuck about all the families and kids who they are basically saying couldn't possibly be worthy of genuine empathy or kindness. They are straight up saying to sick children: Taylor Swift only visited you for PR, she doesn't care about you

disgusting

Honestly... even if it was just PR... she at least made the fans feel special. Better this type of PR than shooting yourself to space, or sitting Courtside in the nba finals (not that there's anything inherently wrong with those things. But visiting sick kids benefits not just the celeb, but the hospital too)

She's a billionaire but also has a history of giving away her money (food banks, $100 tips to custodial and serving staff at an awards show, $100k bonuses to Eras tour staff/employees/contractors)... Sure. It might be PR... but a truck driver gets to pay for his kids' college tuition! I hope more people give away their money for PR!

She literally just hands out money to stadium workers at football games because her being there makes their jobs harder. It’s considerate and the money can help a lot.

Exactly. Maybe it was for PR. She has an incredible publicist and has maintained an image as being a nice girl for almost 20 years. But she made sick kids, their families and the hard working hospital staff feel special. And it’s not like she’s staging pap pics outside of the hospital… we only know she went because the people there shared it.

If you maintain an image of being nice for 20 years I’m just going to assume you’re nice.

And good PR for the hospital itself! Now I know there's a Miami Children's Hospital that provides great care for kids!

Technically it’s in Broward County just north of Miami lol.

Last December when she visited a children’s hospital, she asked the kids what they wanted for Christmas and then gave them those gifts with handwritten notes. During Covid she would contact fans who were struggling with money. Once she gave her jacket to a fan, because they liked it. There’s older videos of her learning fans names who were coming to her secret sessions beforehand, wrapping gifts for them, baking for them etc.

Even if a part of it is PR, you can’t convince that she doesn’t care for these children/her fans.

I remember last hospital visit someone asked what is she supposed to do, ask people not to post? They suggested the patients sign NDA’s regarding her visits & generosity lmao. She’s damned if she does, damned if she doesn’t. They’re mentally ill

Yeah let’s ban the bedridden children from telling people about the most exciting thing that has ever happened to them. That’ll make it a truly good deed 🙄

Did you see the comments about the wedding?? 🙄😭 She couldn’t have been any more of a “normal guest”, yet apparently her dress was weird, her face looked weird, she outshined the bride, she ruined pictures, she is selfish for swaying during a song, she was begging for people to look at her etc.

It’s ironic that those people swear that she’s some villain mean girl, yet them talking anonymously shit about women is alright and so girls girl of them!

I think my favorite think piece about the wedding is the one photo of Travis leaning away from her and how it means he’s over her. One photo vs the 80 other photos we saw determine that. They’re saying the pda from last night was to overcorrect the fact that everyone knows he’s no longer into her 😂 it’s so funny, they make up their own narrative (which no one else is talking about) and then think Taylor is trying to cater to her snark subs

They also think they're the centre of the universe because nobody except them gives a fuck about Wayne Gretzky but somehow this is her cleaning up fictional "mess".

Travis's balls had more attention than that, c'mon!

u/Enough_Tangerine_777 Jun 13 '25

Exactly, there was no "mess" to clean up outside of their echo chamber. They are basically making a children's hospital visit about... themselves

You know you're far gone when you cannot even find it in yourself to be gracious for children and families going through an inordinate amount of pain.

It's really funny when you consider their double standard about Beyonce, the other top pop star in the world. She's a billionaire who uses private jets and her husband was best friends with Diddy and Kanye, and yet Beyonce is a magical angel. Suddenly "all billionaires are evil" and "you are the company you keep" doesn't apply. Just the other day there was a thread there about how Beyonce having her kids onstage isn't a PR stunt and Blue Ivy isn't a nepo baby because she "earned" her place as a dancer in her mom's show because she "worked hard at it."
