Rebekah filmed herself opening the package, in which she found a handwritten note from Swift. “I was thinking about you today, and how you have been there cheering me on in the most thoughtful and creative ways,” Swift wrote to Rebekah, mentioning a video and other posts Rebekah made.
Swift continued, “I got out my paints for the first time in a while today and made you something. I really, really, really hope you like it. I’m not a good painter, but you’re so beautiful and positive, even though you’re dealing with the stress life brings, so I wanted to make you something.”
Swift had painted a picture for Rebekah, and taken a picture of herself painting it. She also enclosed one of her old necklaces, and a check for $1,989 to help with Rebekah’s student loans. Just days earlier, Rebekah had written online about not having a job, having to make loan payments, and “freaking out” under the pressure.

Gonna crack my knuckles and jump for joy - I got a clean bill of health from Dr. McCoy.
It’s possible I have heard one of her songs - seriously I think I actually heard only one of them - and it was completely forgettable whatever it was. Having said that, I really like this young lady. She’s just neat. I hope she never ends up like so many other young pop stars.
#3.
Yes, this March after ten years I will have finally finished paying mine off. I predict shortly thereafter there will be some sort of "student loan amnesty" that as a taxpayer I'll have to help fund.

You are welcome!
Yep, and maybe the next popular revolt. The RATS in the Clinton era pushed the foolish notion that everyone needs to go college and pushed student loans for everyone. The banks and educrats made billions, and we have a whole generation of low income, college educated debt slaves. Proving once again that the scariest words in the English language are “I’m with the government and I’m here to help you!”
But I really just thought I’d post a nice story for a change, as a break from all the nasty and evil stuff people do.
I like a few of her songs a lot; most are country-pop and kinda forgettable, but a handful are sheer dynamite.
I pray she avoids the pitfalls of the music biz and continues to cut her own path through the woods.
Good on her for doing personal stuff to make her fans happy. I believe it's sincere.
She’s as fake as a $3 bill. The queen of contrived innocence she is.
Don’t worry - that song too is instantly forgettable. And I have a secret weapon that will wipe out any song that gets stuck in my head:
Level 1 mind wipe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6ttclloQ_I
Level 2 mind wipe (wipes out any and all recent pop music in your head): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ogm1hLnetJ0
I will never think of that Taylor Swift song again. Come to think of it, I have already forgotten the title.
Heavy Rock.
But THIS is my Favorite Song of all time :D

And it was my Favorite BEFORE That SNL skit!
She did a version of George Strait's "Run" at a country music awards show a few years ago that was really magnificent. And I usually find covers disappointing.
Yeah, but the SNL skit turned it into a cult classic. I just changed my tagline because you posted this. LOL.
Me too! More cowbell!!
