MADISON, NORTH CAROLINA — Global pop superstar Taylor Swift has made a heartfelt gesture to a North Carolina family, donating $100,000 to help a 2-year-old girl battling stage 4 brain cancer.
The donation was made to an online fundraiser for Lilah Smoot, a toddler from Madison in Rockingham County, whose story has gained attention through her mother’s emotional updates on TikTok under the handle @standwithlilah.
According to Lilah’s mom, Katelynn Smoot, the family had launched the fundraiser back in March to cover mounting medical expenses. The surprise came when Swift quietly contributed $100,000 on October 17, without any prior contact from her team.
