Taylor Swift Makes $100,000 Donation to 2-Year-Old Cancer Patient

  • On Friday, Oct. 17, Taylor Swift donated $100,000 via GoFundMe to the parents of 2-year-old Lilah, the fundraiser beneficiary.
  • Diagnosed at 18 months, Lilah's stage 4 brain cancer is rare and aggressive with around 58 U.S. cases last year; her treatment requires months of chemotherapy, stem cell therapy, and hospital stays.
  • On Oct. 8, Katelynn Smoot's TikTok 'Stand with Lilah' showed Lilah calling Swift her friend, and Katelynn said `I listened to Taylor my whole pregnancy and then birthed a mini Swiftie. Lilah loves Taylor’s music and during her cancer treatment she always found joy in it` before Swift donated $100,000 on Oct. 17.
  • The donation pushed the fundraiser past its goal by nearly $60,000, and Katelynn said, `Thank you so so much @taylorswift. I am in shock.`
  • Known for quiet philanthropy, Taylor Swift gave $100,000 quietly on Friday, repeating her pattern after donating $5 million to Hurricane Milton and Helene relief efforts in October 2024.
