Is it any surprise that Taylor Swift is a giving human being? No, it definitely not a surprise. It’s actually part of why we love and admire her so much. She sees that she can help and she does just that. And it’s not just giving money – it’s being giving of her time.
Ellen Pompeo was on the Jennifer Hudson show and talked about meeting Taylor Swift – but it’s what Taylor Swift did for her that was amazing.
Hudson opened the conversation talking about Pompeo being in the video for Bad Blood.
Hudson said, “Ten years ago you were in a Taylor Swift video?”
Pompeo responded and said, “I was.”
And then continued, ““Actually, I forgot about Taylor, so that’s true, I do get a lot of points for that.”
Pompeo talked a little more about being in the video and then talked about the sizable donation that Taylor Swift wrote for her.
“At the time, Chris and I, we do a lot of volunteering for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles here and they have an amazing program at Children’s where they make music for the babies in the NICU and for the parents who have to go to work all day and they can’t be with the kids,” she recounted.
And then continued, “They record their voices singing nursery rhymes or telling them stories and they play it for the babies in the day when the parents can’t be there. The babies respond to it and it makes their outcomes more positive.”
Ellen then said, “I just got up the hooks and asked Taylor, ‘Could you write me a big old check for Children’s?’ and she knew me all but 20 minutes and that girl wrote me the biggest check without blinking an eye.”
