Taylor Swift Donatee’s Mother Says They Didn’t Hear From Taylor Before Donation
Taylor Swift
Donatee’s Mom Says Money Came Out of Nowhere

Taylor Swift‘s $100K donation has totally changed a cancer-stricken girl’s life … but, that young girl’s mom says it came completely out of nowhere — ’cause Taylor dropped the dough without ever reaching out to the fam.
We spoke with Katelynn Smoot, whose daughter Lilah was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer earlier this year, about what the donation means to her and her family … and, Smoot says it’s given the family time to catch their collective breath.
Smoot says her husband was refreshing the GoFundMe one night and noticed the donation … leaving the couple totally awestruck — ’cause Taylor never reached out to inform them of the gift.
In fact, Swift still hasn’t reached out … it seems Taylor did something out of the goodness of her heart and simply moved on — and, Smoot ultimately decided to post about it to highlight how wonderful she is.
Smoot explains she and her husband were discussing their finances mere days before the donation … trying to figure out how long they could be out of work so they could focus on Lilah before they ran out of money — but, Swift’s donation has totally wiped that concern away.
On top of that, Smoot says Swifites have chipped in now too, alleviating the burden even more … and, she adds, it feels like their family is wrapped in a warm embrace by the fans. Katelynn — who is a big Swiftie herself — previously admitted she nearly named Lilah “Willow” after Taylor’s song of the same name.
Turns out “The Life of a Showgirl” is all about performing miracles and not asking for any recognition in return … though there’s one family who certainly won’t forget her generosity anytime soon.

Timothée Chalamet fans waited for hours in line to get some “Marty Supreme” merch at a Los Angeles pop up shop … and the crowd grew so huge, cops were called.
Check out these videos from the ‘Marty’ pop-up shop in L.A. … this is on a Monday afternoon, and there’s a line down the block with tons of people trying to squeeze inside to get their hands on merch.

The woman managing the space came out and had to tell folks if they didn’t have a ticket, they needed to get out of line, and there were tons of security and fencing in place … but police still ended up being called.
Video shows several officers at the pop-up deciding whether to declare this an unlawful assembly.
LAPD tells TMZ … officers responded to a large group at 1:53 PM, and when officers arrived, they requested additional units.

We’re told LAPD ultimately left the scene without citing anyone or shutting it down.
People started getting in line Sunday, and it looks like the commotion may have even caused a car crash.
Timothée’s new movie isn’t out until later this month, but it seems folks are super excited for it … or, they just want to resell the merch.
BTW … one popular item was this “Marty Supreme” jacket.
