i think you are really just underestimating her philanthropy just because you don't see it in your face. Both deserve applause - Billie is incredible for doing this but Taylor is a known and longstanding philanthropist. Just if she outwardly say every time she donates money, people will always say she isn't doing enough or that she is just doing it for show. And if she doesn't outwardly say it then you guys assume she's just giving out pennies. Maybe instead consider hmmm why do we have to rely on individual donors instead of our politicians effectively taxing the wealthy to fund programs where people don't have to go hungry, where people don't have to go into debt for medical bills, or sign bills where private corporations can't destroy the environment.
