Taylor Swift Donates $100,000 to Help Young Chiefs Fan Battling Stage 4 Cancer — ‘She’s Part of Our Team Too

Pop superstar Taylor Swift has once again melted hearts across the NFL world — this time with a $100,000 donation that left fans and families in tears just days before the

Chiefs-Raiders Week 7 showdown.

After returning to Kansas City to cheer for fiancé Travis Kelce in the Chiefs’ 30–17 win over the Lions, Swift quietly stepped back into the spotlight — not for a performance, but for an act of pure generosity.

According to the GoFundMe campaign, Swift donated $100,000 to help Lilah Smoot, a two-year-old girl battling stage 4 brain cancer, receive life-saving treatment. Along with her donation, Swift wrote:

“Sending the biggest hug to my friend, Lilah! Love, Taylor.”

The gesture came after a viral video showed Lilah pointing to Swift dancing in her new music video for “The Life of a Showgirl”

and saying, “That’s my friend.” The clip caught Swift’s attention — and she responded in the most powerful way possible.

Lilah’s mother, Caitlin Smoot, posted an emotional thank-you: “Is this real life? Thank you so so much @taylorswift. You’ve given us such a beautiful gift — now we can just focus on our baby girl and being together as a family.”

Fans flooded the comments with emotional messages, many calling Swift “the most incredible human” and praising her compassion.

Even as the Chiefs prepare for their primetime clash with the Raiders at Allegiant Stadium, Swift’s kindness continues to steal headlines. Actress

Ruby Rose summed it up best: “She used to scroll GoFundMe like a social media app — clicking ‘reach their donation’ like the ‘like’ button.”

For all her fame and fortune, Taylor Swift’s quiet acts of kindness remind fans why her impact goes far beyond the music charts — and why Chiefs Kingdom adores her just as much as they do No. 87.
