\u201cSeeing someone in urgent need after a car accident, she pulled over to help. As [Taunton\u2019s husband Joe] so perfectly puts it, it was just \u2018Ashley doing Ashley things.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile she was assisting another vehicle hydroplaned and came hurtling directly toward them.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn a split-second act of pure bravery, Ashley pushed the other person out of harm\u2019s way, taking the brunt of the impact herself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Swift donated through the page and offered her support in an accompanying message.<\/p>\n
She wrote: \u201cWishing you the best recovery possible and sending love to your family!\u201d<\/p>\n
Ashley was overwhelmed with gratitude by the donation.<\/p>\n
She shared screenshots of the Opalite singer\u2019s message and news of her donation and wrote on Instagram: \u201cThis is absolutely mind-blowing and so very humbling.<\/p>\n
\u201c@taylorswift you are a beautiful soul I wish I could hug you IRL. Maybe the next time your [sic] in Westerly I live 20 minutes away.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you Jesus for so many amazing humans. This is unbelievable and I am overwhelmed with gratitude. To God be the glory!(sic)\u201d<\/p>\n
Many of Taylor\u2019s fans have been inspired by her generosity and have also donated to the GoFundMe in $13 increments, with the amount representing the Fate of Ophelia hitmaker\u2019s favourite number.<\/p>\n
Swift is known for her generosity and, on the day she and Travis Kelce got married at New York\u2019s Madison Square Garden last month, they handed out a total of $26 million to various good causes with links to meaningful locations for the couple.<\/p>\n
A statement read: \u201cThis week, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift donated $26 million to charities across the United States.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey include the following: City Harvest, New York City; Food Bank For NYC; New York Cares …\u201d<\/p>\n
Other charities that received money from the couple include organisations in Tennessee, where Taylor moved with her family when she was a teenager so she could pursue a career in country music; Rhode Island, where the singer owns a large coastal mansion; and Kansas City, Missouri, where Travis plays football for the Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n
Swift also made a series of donations to charities in cities she stopped in on The Eras Tour, while she also gave the team working on her shows a share of $197 million to thank them for their help in making the 149-show tour such a success.<\/p>\n
The crew\u2019s emotional reactions were seen in an episode of her Disney+ docuseries The End of an Era.<\/p>\n
While writing letters to her hard-working team, the singer said: \u201cBonus day is so important, because setting a precedent with The Eras Tour is so important to me, because people who work on the road, if the tour grosses more, they get more of a bonus.\u201d<\/p>\n
