Taylor Swift has donated £36,000 to a mother of five whose husband died of Covid.

 

The singer and her mum gave the money to a GoFundMe appeal set up to support Vickie Quarles and her five children.

 

The woman’s husband, Theodis Ray Quarles, 48, of Memphis, Tennessee, US, died before Christmas, according to the fundraiser.

The huge donation from Taylor, 31, and mum Andrea, 63, meant the GoFundMe page met its $50,000 target in one go.

 

It has so far raised more than $60,000 (£44,000).

 

This is not the first time the Grammy Award-winner has helped out strangers.

 

Last year, she gave £23,373 so teenager, Vitoria Mario, could afford to go to university.

 

And in December, Taylor donated £9,500 each to two mothers experiencing difficulties due to the pandemic.
