Filed under: Inspiration > Taylor Swift

13 is her lucky number!

Taylor Swift
not only performed Love Story during the BBC televised Children In Need fundraiser on Friday night, but she also donated £13,000 of her OWN money to the UK charity!

That's nearly $22,000!

Very generous, T-Swizzle!

    I like how Perez doesn't talk about how Taylor Swift is suing a small town diner because they play her songs with out paying her.



  9. 9

    You should have purchased some Bluestar stock with that 22 grand. No one gets hurt and we can make a ton of money….



  10. 10

    she is amazing

  11. Manay says – reply to this

    22,000??
    thats just chump change to her



  12. 12

    Perez posts about the stupid things in celebrity news… he post about Taylor's charities but not Miley Cyrus.
    Do you know how MANY CELEBS donate to CHARTITY? PARIS Hilton DONATES to charity.
    He doesn't talk about TAYLOR swift's LAWSUIT against a SMALL diner just because she hear them PLAYING her song with out PAYING her.



  13. 13

    TAYLOR SWIFT HAS A LAWSUIT AGAINST A SMALL TOWN DINER !



  14. 14

    Re: Kamilalil

    Are you sure about this? Thats inside information..I could lose my License if the SEC finds out about this….

    Thats crazy talk…sue a small diner because they play her music… What happened to that small town girl kindness……



  15. 15

    I love TS, but I do want to know why you say "Donated her OWN money". Just whose money is she supposed to have donated? LOL :)



  16. 16

    I wrote this book called BEAUTY: EXTINCT. I see a lot of girls who eat less to be more pretty and more skinny. But they don't understand and nobody is out there to teach these young girls that the less you eat the more you lose your physical beauty. I give it out free and it is part of a campaign for beauty (physical beauty). If you want a free book just email me at rankotutu at yahoo and i will email you a pdf file. My full name is Ranko Tutulugdzija if you think this is a joke google me

  18. 18

    Funny how Perez talks about her donation, yet he makes no mention of her SUEING a small diner/bar.



  19. 19

    let's get some dirt on this scank I tried to listen to her music all sounds the same, I can't go more then 2 minutes. I know we all need a new hero this little scank is not it. Getting very sick of this boring scank



  20. 20

    22K is not that much. And soooo many celebs donate money are you going to post about EVERY single celeb that donates money. Because I am sure that there MANY that donate more than 22K

    AND TAYLOR SWIFT HAS A LAWSUIT….. What happened to juicy celeb gossip?



  21. 21

    hey dummies that are still claiming its HER suing the Bar (not diner). do a teeny bit of reading today on the net and you will see that she had nothing to do with it. it was something that her record company was involved in with a 3rd party. in fact go to the rival to this site. jj junior. c om and you will see the story. you guys aren't too bright are ya? look it up.



  22. 22

    Re: pinkylove – Pinky is there Anything or any amount that she could have done/ given that would have satisfied you? hmm i doubt it. i'm gonna mail you some rope tied in a certain way. get yourself a stool or chair or something and you should know what to do with it.



  23. 23

    How many bars did she have to sue to get this 22,000?? Seriously has she never heard of Metallica??? Bar songs are free advertsing for her albums..wise up!!!



  24. 24

    Re: Tutulugdzija – Dumb, nobody cares



  25. 25

    Re: SirTommyChadwick – Taylor Swift name is on the lawsuit. Not just her records. So don't call us a dummy



  26. 26

    Re: alanbrickman – I know, but the funny thing is how Perez claims to have juicy gossip.
    And what does Perez post about?
    Lady Gaga "vintage" videos… NOT JuicyGossip.
    Taylor Swift donating 22k…. NOT JuicyGossip
    And how he thinks various man celebs are hot…. NOT JuicyGossip



  27. 27

    Has Taylor gottenbad advice maybe?? Has she never heard of Metallica?..



  28. 28

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE HER!!! :]



  29. 29

    I don't get how you can not like her. She's AMAZING.



  30. 30

    £13k is nothing, by donating that she will get more than that in album sales due to donating. A perfect example of celebrities donating money to boost their p.r



  31. 31

    i dont no why your all bitching im watching children in need and it was a very generous donation that she didnt need to make!! its going to make a difference to the charity! £13000 is alot of money to donate no matter how much your worth at least she donated unlike most people!!



  32. 32

    Re: Kamilalil – look it up Dummy, she had nothing to do with it, of course her name is on it since her company found out that it was HER songs. would they have put someone else's name on it? im not even some huge fan of hers but i can read.



  33. 33

    Re: BeccaHarrison928 – exactly. people just love to hate and bitch (when they are faceless on the net). i wonder what amount she could have given that would have satisfied them? i doubt there is anything she could have done to get a pass from them.



  34. 34

    22k WTF!!! She has millions. That's maybe a hundred dollars for her. No generous, just looking for some good publicity.



  35. 35

    i love her=)



  36. 36

    Re: pinkylove – She has donated more money to charity than you probably EVER will. so stfu you miserable jealous hag.



  37. 37

    Re: hajj_3 – So? Does that make the 13,000 any less useful for the charity? I'm sure they don't give a rat's ass if it boosts Taylor's sales or her image. The children get the money and that's all that matters! She also raises even more awareness for that charity. Be a little less judgemental and give some credit where credit is due!



  38. 38

    Re: SirTommyChadwick – That's not true. her label could have filed it without Taylor Swift. But Taylor Swift AND her label filed it.



  39. 39

    awww thats so sweet



  40. 40

    Re: Megatr0n – My point is that so many celebs donate money to charities. And have donated more than 22k to one charity. Why is it on Perez website? When the website is about juicy gossip? Perez is just kissing up the Taylor Swift.
    What would be interested is Taylor Swift donated like a SHIT TON of money to a charity… that would be new worthy. But 22k to a charity, is nothing to post about hen SO MANY celebs donate.



  41. 41

    £13000 is alot of money in the current climate its going to make a great difference to these childrens lives. its raised great awareness for such a special cause its got america talking about children in need!!! i doubt anyone here has donated any money to the charity? children in need is a huge charity in england weve raised £18million tonight alone and taylors money has helped get to this point!! stop hating donating to charity is never a bad thing put ur own hands in ur pocket and donate!!



  42. 42

    Lmao, why are you guys surprised Perez didn't post the bar thing?
    He didn't post about he picture with the Nazi guy either.

    He only posts good things like this (even though for a celebrity, 22 000 isn't an amazing amount, it was sweet of her though :) ).



  43. 43

    BMI. Other than by the sheer chance that Taylor owned one of the songs heard on the night our researcher visited the establishment, she personally has no direct participation in this copyright infringement suit."

  44. barny says – reply to this


    44

    She is one ugly looking girl who has little talent.

  45. Sezzy says – reply to this


    45

    shes #1 what now and only donated 22k? lol retard



  46. 46

    Um…it seems to me she also donated time and effort to perform and to go wherever the fundraiser was held to help raise the money. Her own donation is just an extra bit of goodwill.



  47. 47

    good for her! but there are other celebs who donate to charities…some have donated a millions to other charities and some of them are worth/make less than TSwift does and they donate way more than she did… $22k really that's like 1/2 a show



  48. 48

    She was great on CIN! & that was a really great and generous thing to donate that much money.

    Yes she makes way more but tht amount of money has made a huge differance. Everyone in the UK and familys of the childen will be grateful!



  49. 49

    LOVE HER!!!!!!



  50. 50

    I adore Taylor!… but you say "of her OWN money" as though she's been saving up out of an allowance… She's worth a pretty penny, sweetie pie!



  51. 51

    get used to seeing her face people , she is the new face of mtv, she is the new spears.



  52. 52

    I love Taylor Swift but Perez needs to stop posting every little thing about her and calling her "T-Swizzle" lame if he's not careful all he's going to do is make people sick of her.



  53. 53

    cute…shirt? lawd.



  54. 54

    I do not see the appeal of her, even when she gives money to charity. she still comes off as fake to me (and she can't sing)



  55. 55

    Re: AlexaKylee – maybe because her lyrics are all about rainbows and puppies and highschool boyfriends, and her voice is horrendous live.



  56. 56

    Re: imawesome – AGREE!
    her talent is very limited.



  57. 57

    Re: Crystal Clear – learn to spell



  58. 58

    Re: Kamilalil – Really? So you saw the lawsuit with your own eyes?



  59. 59

    Guess that's why she sued that bar for playing her music. So she could use that money to give to charity. No, that's awesome though, giving money away and all that.



  60. 60

    Re: gillette717 – I made a typo in my previous.



  61. 61

    Re: gillette717 – I made a typo in my two previous posts.



  62. 62

    Re: gillette717 – I made a typo in my two previous posts. (I've written this same comment twice, but I'm not sure if my previous one posted).



  63. 63

    wow out of all those album sales and millions of dollars you'd think she would donate more then that! $13,000 is nothing compared to the $$$$ she's raking in. Nice thought taylor but can you say cheep?



  64. 64

    Re: SirTommyChadwick – wow I think your just looking for a argument tbh. Can you honestly tell me that £13k was a genorous amount out of all the money she has? Really, all the songs and albums she's realised and only £13k? man that's low, true children will benifit from the money she gave but at the end of the day they would have been better off if she had donate more. You know being a celebrity and all, then again you wouldnt think of that being so far stuck up your own opinion you cant see that TS probebly only done this so she would come out as the good guy.



  65. 65

    WELL HOW GREAT FOR YOU YA LITTLE TRASHY WHORE?! YOU LOOK LIKE A TRAMP/HOOKER WITH THAT BRIGHT BLUE EYESHADOW AND BRIGHT RED LIPSTICK! TRASH! AND WHY DONT YOU HELP PPL IN THE US TAYLOR?! DONT YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR COUNTRY?!



  66. 66

    she's gorgeous… but she's not tha oh.so.innocent.girl everybody thinks she is, i mean, her style is a good girl style, BUT STOP SAYING "OH SHE'S SO SWEET"… she's just like everyone else but with a hair dresser, and people telling her how to look like [nice sweet girl].. ok?



  67. 67

    Re: pinkylove – lol.you don't know anythingdo you? just go…jump off a cliff. and take kanye west with you :)



  68. 68

    she was so sweet! i was watching it and it was so kind of her! love taylor



  69. 69

    So what she has plenty of money. It is a tax write off and is good pr. I am sure that she donates other money else were also. But most other famous people donate a lot more money then 22k and dont rub it in our faces like this.



  70. 70

    It's kinda stupid to say celebs are "so generous" when they donate mere thousands to charity.
    13,000 would be generous if someone who was making around 100,000 a year gave it…but she makes MILLIONS.

    Her giving 13,000 is actually the equivalent of the average person giving a charity about 5 pounds, would you say us normal people were so nice and caring and generous if we put a 5 in the charity box of the same charity….nope.



  71. 71

    She is soo sweet.



  72. 72

    oh dear lord you negative people make me laugh

    in regards to taylor having a lawsuit - taylor and perez are actually good friends so im guessing its unlikely hes every gonna write anything negative about her! but you're obviously the kind of people that would stab a friend in the back if u expect him to write about it!!!!

    be it 13,000 or 13 pennys she dontated and did a nice thing so get over it - how many of u bitchy arse holes donated money to children in need?? i couldn't carless if she donated a penny - as children need has alwways said "every penny counts" but yet again you JEALOUS sods think its more important to bitch then admit she did a nice thing

    ok so maybe other celebs donate to charity - but children in need is a big think in the uk means alot to us so for a NON uk resident to come to our country and donate money their gonna gain alot of respect something that certain people just dont seem to grasp

    are you that jealous that you can't stand to see someone doing well for themselves you have to pick at anything negative. no wonder the worlds the way it is

    for those of you who left nice comments - Good on you :) i salute you!



  73. 73

    She's so awesome! I don't usually listen to her kind of music, but she's so adorable and spunky, She makes it sounds so great! GO TAYLOR!!!



  74. 74

    It's pretty sick that people appear to be bashing Taylor Swift for donating money to charity. She could find a cure for all known diseases and solve world hunger and people would still hate her.

    One word

    JEALOUSY!



  75. 75

    she is beautiful



  76. 76

    Good for her!! Not a fan of her music but I think she is extremely cute!!



  77. 77

    She's amazing!



  78. 78

    there was loads of famous people from uk on none of them offered 13K. she didn't have 2 offer. but i am glad she dis as Children In Need help the centre my step brother goes to and we have seen big improvements since going there only 3months ago.



  79. 79

    When's she gonna donate some money to the Holocaust Museum?

    Or is everyone gonna ignore that whole swastika thing?



  80. 80

    Re: Manay – yeah but it's still a ton of money! i'm sure it's helping the charity a lot



  81. 81

    Re: ladykiller714 – she was posing with so many fans that day, and she said she didn't even notice his shirt. It's not like she was wearing the shirt..it doesn't prove that she supports it or anything



  82. 82

    Re: Amanda Jonas – how do you spell gullible?
    lemme see…Y-O-U



  83. 83

    Re: ladykiller714 – haha okay buddy…i'm sure if it was you you's take the time to do a full inspection of each and every fan before you posed with them, right?



  84. 84

    perez you peace of shit you mention something bad about mast every other celebrity but when i come to you for you ti diss this bitch you dont you are such a little bitch thats why you 2 get along i agree with jessica simpson so go away you bastard



  85. 85

    I like Taylor she is Nice !! I dont get why people hate her even when she does a very good think u bash her that just proves how mean and money hungry you are !! She gave 13,000 pounds cause her fave number is 13 xD !!
