When Taylor Swift gave huge money for charity

Recently, as Grey’s Anatomy actress Ellen Pompeo appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show, she remembered the time when Taylor Swift wrote a “big cheque” for her in a heartbeat when she asked for funds for charity. 

She reminisced, “At the time, [my husband] Chris [Ivery] and I, we do a lot of volunteering for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles here. They have an amazing program at Children’s where they make music for the babies in the NICU. For the parents who have to go to work all day and they can’t be with the kids, they record their voices singing nursery rhymes or telling them stories and they play it for the babies in the day when the parents can’t be there. The babies respond to it and it makes their outcomes more positive.”
