Overview

• Swift made the $100,000 contribution through GoFundMe with the note: "A big hug to my friend Lilah! Love, Taylor."
• The fundraiser, originally set at $60,000 for medical care, reached more than $190,000 by Oct. 18 after the donation.
• Lilah, 2, was diagnosed at 18 months with a rare, aggressive brain tumor and is receiving chemotherapy, stem-cell therapy and proton radiation following surgery.
• The donation was prompted by a widely shared clip in which Lilah refers to Swift as her "friend."
• Lilah’s mother, Katelynn Smoot, posted a tearful thank-you video, and supporters added fresh contributions, including many $13 gifts tied to Swift’s signature number.
