Huge kudos to Taylor for this kindness.
Cool
The crappy year that is 2016 needs more news like this. The one thing I will never knock Taylor for, is things like this and always giving money to charity.
Yeah, she goes above and beyond for her fans. Dislike her for other things if you must but charity work (and donations) and fan appreciation are a consistent part of her brand. I think she really enjoys making her fans happy.

User name-comment synergy!
ooooooohhhhh burn
Still trolling I see.
Oh yes anyone who doesn’t think like you is a troll. I think the entire list of links equals vomit. But you go, stan. Stan till you’re blue in the face.
For me this headline says it all.

and so does this one

How charitable is it when there is an obvious and huge amount of self interest in it…
I really don’t care for Taylor as a person, but I have always admired her for the work she does for charity/random acts of kindness.
Same. I find her mostly insufferable, but she does stuff like this all the time for her fans so props for that.
“Stars” do this sort of thing all of the time. While I commend her for serenading this gentlemen, I would think more of her if we didn’t know about it. It would seem more genuine. Obviously in the social media era, it was inevitable the family would post it. Random acts of kindness are the ones we never hear about. You do it out of love or concern, not to be rewarded, even in a headline. Cynical, yes, but she had a bad year and needed some good publicity and got it. The real hero is the 96 year old
Veteran.
I’m glad that the guy had a happy moment, but I agree – esp. after reading about George Michael yesterday.

From what I heard on the news, it was the family of the man that took the cell phone video and released it, not TS. Knock her for other things, but for making that senior smile ear to ear, nothing but kudos (from me, anyway).
I wouldn’t wish her level of fame on anyone…
She’s smart and knows she’s only famous because of her fans. She does everything for her true fans! She has a giving heart, for sure. I can’t imagine the fake friends and true enemies you make in a world like hers. Let’s just say I have mad respect because she is handling it a hundred times better than I would! LOL I get pissed off and ‘birds start flyin’!!
Yeah, even if she does these things for publicity, she’s still donating her time and money. I can’t fault her for it even if I don’t like her much otherwise. No one can deny she made this gent really happy.
ETA: this was meant as a reply to Sam and Alyce. Oops.
Okay. It brought a tear to my eye. The fact that this 96-year-old man has been to several of her concerts not close by, that much of a fan, and to have her go to Missouri and do this is a happiness for him that can’t put a price on it and bragging rights in his town. I think many acts are great to their fans in different ways. Of course, her family posted the video. It’s a huge deal to them. When he got up and started dancing, I couldn’t stop smiling.
Just the other week I saw where Denzel Washington went and visited a librarian around the same age — a little older, 99. Her family had been contacting him because she remembered him as a little boy and always talked about him. He called her, but then ending up coming to Atlanta for business and went and visited with her in her assisted care facility. Another highlight for someone in the last years of their life. I thought how thoughtful that he stopped by and visited with her, not leaving it at the phone call. She made him scarves as a gift. Aw.
I love stories like that.
Debbie Reynolds has had a stroke per TMZ & DM.
Oh, no. So sad.
It was just reported by her son that she died.
She has passed, I can’t believe it.
RIP
Debbie Reynolds!!! Why???
