If you’re one of the few holdouts who still hasn’t hopped on board the Taylor Swift fan bus, maybe her recent act of selflessness will change your mind.

It’s a kind gesture from the celebrated artist, but as Swift sings in her song "Shake It Off": Haters gonna hate, hate, hate.
Not everyone was impressed with the donation. Some detractors think that Swift should have given more, considering the fact that she reportedly earned over $60 million in 2014.
