Your donation to schools was good and I'm gonna let you finish....but Barak's donation of tax-payer's money to acorn was the best donation ever. Best donation ever.
Maybe it's just because, as a product of public schools, I believe they are evil.
She’s 20 though so she likely doesn’t realize that lots of schools contain very liberal teachers. I don’t know that after starting her music career at around 12 when they moved to Nashville (or maybe 14, but 1 of the 2) she paid much attention to anything but music and finishing school.
She’s a pretty talented and smart cookie with great parents that are doing a great job helping her through the pitfalls of super stardom so far (IMHO) and I’ll bet she wises up before too long.
Also, how many celebs ever give back? So kudos to her for trying and thanks you Feline_AIDS for posting this story! I love Taylor Swift’s music!
I hope as her income grows, she doesn’t get political like Faith Hill and The Dixie Chicksters.
No matter what her politics are, she should keep them to herself. And just do what she does real well. Write and Record good songs.
I don’t see a problem, here. She’s 20, and wants to be nice to people who were nice to her, while she was growing up.
Well, I sure didn’t have $250K to give anyone on my 20th or 30th or 40th birthday, so not so sure what I’d do with that amount, But, she gave specifically to schools SHE had attended and where she felt that SHE had learned and had positive experiences. It probably wasn’t political at all. Literally just a ‘giving back’ to those she believes have made her what she is today. Sometimes it can be pretty simple.
Swift graduated from the Aaron Academy, a Christian school in Hendersonville, Tennessee.
A foolish comment, at best. The article does not say what schools she donated to. She graduated from a Christian school.

I tell you what, watch this music video of hers. Listen to the lyrics, listen to her sing about family, God and where she grew up. Taylor Swift is a gem.
There could not be a single FReeper who dislikes what this young lady has produced in this video and this song.
It’s possible that the schools she attended were NOT run by libs. There are some public schools that are not. As far as I’m concerned, as long as she’s giving them her OWN money, I don’t have a problem with it.
I dunno... I don’t see how giving back to the schools she attended can be construed a ‘liberal’ act. It is her own money, she got them from legal sources, and nothing from the government.
