The fans were quick to state how happy they were with this generosity while also gave back to haters stating that it surely was not just one crew member and the amount may have totaled to a huge sum if she gave it to everyone.

One said, "Not even a big fan of Taylor swift but my sisters friend knows someone who is one of her dancers and he got about this same amount of money, I don¡¯t listen to her but it¡¯s nice to see her treat her whole crew very well".

One fan even gave back to haters calling it a PR stunt and said, " Saying that this 100,00k is for PR is an insult. If she wanted a PR, she could hire a PR agency that would cost her maximum $1M while saving around $54M. No other celebs nor billionaires have done so much generosity on their employees in public or private".
