When we give talks around the country as a professional speaker we often talk about, along with providing resources for our community based on my personal journey growing up on the autism spectrum, individuals who have made an impact for those in our community. This is a perfect example of someone going above and beyond below…
Jacob, a young boy with autism needed $13,500 in order to help get training for a service dog through the Autism Service Dogs of America (ASDA) to help him with everyday support. Jacob’s Nana went to GoFundMe to raise the needed funds while two of Jacob’s sister and cousin also rewrote Taylor Swift’s smash hit “Blank Space” in the hopes of getting additional donations.
Then, out of nowhere, Taylor and Andrea Swift came in with a $10,000 donation on their GoFundMe page. Taylor wrote, “Jacob, we hope you love your new dog! Please tell your cousins that they did a great job on the song! Love, Taylor and Andrea Swift!”

Way to go Taylor Swift!
10k is like 100 bucks for her. Smh. She did it for publicity.
now if only the president before leaving could give autistic kids in the usa government grants for the things they need it would help. my daughter is a sbs survivor with autism and its been hard getting services or help for her here in new mexico.
That was a nice rewrite
they were awesome & Taylor ur the GREATEST ♡♡♡♡♡♡
Such a wonderful gift for an amazing boy and his family! It’s truly wonderful when someone REALLY cares, and offers to help your child, your family, or a loved one… Taylor you are definitely this boy’s guardian angel <3 I wish there were more people just like you willing to take the time fo a child with special needs, and do something extra special!
Taylor and her Mom are big-hearted and generous people.
I like them now even more than I did before.
Hi I’m Jacobs mom. Just to clarify, Jacobs sister and cousin re wrote the song. 🙂 thanks for sharing! Taylor is amazing.
Thanks for the clarification!
Wow! That is so heart warming and awesome for your son! I wish my son could get a service dog!
