You might think that Taylor Swift would be pretty busy with taking over the musical world and conducting an A-list romance with Calvin Harris but it seems she’s still got time to put her fame to good use.

Both sustained serious injuries in the collision and a crowdfunding page was subsequently set up by a close friend to pay for medical bills and expenses during their recovery.

Touched by their story, Swift donated $15,000 to the fund and over $100,000 has now been raised in just four days.

Fair play, Taylor!
