Not only is she Time’s Person of the Year, but Taylor Swift is also using her spotlight for a good cause: raising money for animal shelters.
Animal shelters are using the hashtag #TaylorSwiftChallenge to get fans to donate to a local shelter in her name.
The suggestion is $13 for Dec 13, the day of Swift’s birthday.
“Taylor Swift was recently named Time Magazine’s person of the year. She posed with her rescue cat, Benjamin Button and so it’s become a really fun challenge, challenging the public and animal lovers to donate $13 to their favourite animal charity in their honour,” explained People for Animal Wellbeing executive director Heather Smith.
Calling it the Taylor Swift challenge, Swifties, animal lovers, and the general public were encouraged to donate on her birthday and also try to recreate her memorable Time Magazine photo.
