What’s the news:

- The video had Swift’s song “Only the Young” playing over it.
- Swift reportedly saw the clip and decided to donate $1,300 toward the products.
- Swift sent a note to the Norman girls, which read: “Yasmine and Grace, thank you SO MUCH for everything you’re doing to help people. Here’s a gift for this run, please let me know about anything in the future! Love, Taylor.”
Something similar happened in Utah
- A Utah nurse had an interaction with Swift that went viral back in May after she visited a New York City hospital to help people with the coronavirus pandemic, according to the Deseret News. She came back to find a letter from Swift waiting for her.
- The nurse, Whitney Hilton, saw her story make headlines at “Good Morning America,” CNN and other media outlets.
- Swift sent her a note with the letter, which read: “I can’t thank you enough for risking your life to help people and for spreading the message loudly that people need to hear, about taking this seriously.”
