Taylor Swift Reportedly Bought a House for a Homeless, Pregnant Fan
Taylor Swift is known for being sweet to her super fans, especially around the holidays. In 2014, she became a Secret Santa of sorts to fans on social media, delivering “Swiftmas” presents to their door based on their social footprint. Now one fan is sharing a particularly heartwarming story about a very generous gift Swift reportedly gave to her.
A woman named Stephanie shared her Swift moment on the singer’s new app, “The Swift Life,” according to Perez Hilton. The fan explained she found herself homeless during most of her pregnancy, and her mom let Taylor know Stephanie was going through that difficult time just before she met up with the singer backstage at a concert in the U.K.
She went on to explain in the post, “After the show Taylor took us back to her dressing room where she told me, ‘Stephanie, You’ve been in my life for a long time and you’ve never asked me for anything. You could have reached out and I would have helped you. But you didn’t. You’re mum told me..’ She told me she wanted to give me the money back for my ticket that night. What she actually did was help us buy a home and all I needed for my baby. She told me ‘I want you to be able to enjoy your little girl, not have to worry about all this stuff.’ That night she gave me her hand and lifted me off the ground. The same way she’s done for 12 years. I love her forever. #SwiftStories #Taymoji #MySwiftStory”
The tale of Swift becoming Stephanie’s personal Santa hasn’t been confirmed by Taylor or her team, but helping out a fan in need would fit in with her legacy of generosity toward Swifties, from offering a fan advice on Tumblr to those hand-wrapped holiday presents. Merry Swiftmas, indeed.
