In the wake of the devilish wildfires that turned the glitz and glamor of Hollywood into mere ashes, compassion, and kindness are the only traits defining every contemporary artist as they dive headfirst to stand by the victims. With every A-lister stepping into the ring to compensate for a larger-than-life loss, Los Angeles has its guard up with its lineup of Avengers assembled in times of need. But even amid the haunting reports, and the overdrive of relief efforts, Taylor Swift
fans have not slowed down on their timeworn established precedent, comparing apples-to-apples following Meghan Markle
’s alleged “photo-op”
stunts.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry
’s on-field contribution by showing up at World Central Kitchen in LA was recently met with an unfounded backlash from Justine Bateman. Despite the Sussexes’ obvious intention, Bateman was unrelenting in her assumption, dismissing their aid work by publicly calling out the Duke and the Duchess. Shortly after, a Taylor Swift fan took to X to highlight the pop star’s alleged $10 million donation to California wildfire relief efforts.
Taylor Swift donated $10 million to the victims of the wildfires.
She did not turn up and stomp all over people’s broken lives for a photo op.
That’s the tweet.

That, however, was not all the Swiftie wanted to frame. In stark contrast, the fan noted that Taylor Swift’s generosity did not come with a camera crew in tow, unlike some who parachute in for a photo opportunity, exploiting others’ misfortune for a publicity boost. Although Swift’s kindness truly has no bounds and is hugely believable, there is no publicly available evidence about the donation. Her fans have been capitalizing on that specifically to slam Meghan Markle, regardless.
While the Sussex couple were quick to take offense
over Justine Bateman’s scathing remarks, Taylor Swift fans’ unapologetic blast out only spread wildfire from on-screen to the front pages.
Taylor Swift fans show blood has nothing on royalty, showering wrath on Meghan Markle
Taylor Swift’s fans have drawn a royal line in the sand, asserting that the pop royalty surpasses any aristocratic claim to fame. While fan-waged wars are nothing new in Hollywood, given the sensitive timing of the regal callout for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry without mentioning them, fans were quick to piece together the blank spaces. Surprisingly, even those who were non-Swifties stood by the superfans on this one.
Good on Taylor!! Paris Hilton has been helping out at an animal shelter trying to get lost furbabies reunited with their families. I think disasters bring out both the best and the worst in humanity.

Taylor Swift isn’t half as famous as Meghan Markle!
It means more to the people of California that she is there in designer clothes taking pictures over the charred remains of their homes

With fans dubbing Swift the real royalty and snatching the crown, it did not take long to understand who the fan was firing their shots at.
I can’t stand Taylor, but that is how it should be done … good on her.

That is kindness & class!

As many worshipped the pop princess for outdoing everyone in kindness, a few noted how tumultuous times like this highlight the good and bad without sugarcoating. Although they were sympathetic to the victims, empathy for Markle was nowhere around. However, insiders have set the record straight about the Sussexes, and if nothing else, at least they remain clear to their conscience.
