It's the gift that keeps on giving. Ever since Taylor and Travis donated millions to New York
charities, Swifties have been stepping up as well. Dave Carlin reports now on the generosity that is
inspiring others. Taylor, Swift and Travis Kelsey individually and together give personal time and
money to people in need. The couple recently announcing a donation package of 26 million
for various food banks, animal welfare groups, children's hospitals, arts and music education,
and after-school programs. We thought it was a scam because it's not every day you get a call
where someone says, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey really appreciate the work that New York
Cares does. We started doing the due diligence to make sure it was real. And it is. And it is
real. It's incredible. New York Cares mobilizes tens of thousands of New Yorkers to volunteer.
You can choose the cause and be the effect. And what better fandom to have on your side
than the Swifties. And now that the word is out, Swifties are definitely donating. Over 731
folks have donated to New York Cares. They're in honor of Taylor and Travis. My favorite was this
fan gave $1,387. So Taylor's favorite number and Kelsey's jersey. We all have people who we admire
in our lives. You know, maybe it's a parent, maybe it's a musician or an athlete. And sometimes
they show us a path and they inspire us. We learned the undisclosed amount of money for
New York Cares can be used however the group wants. Earmarked by the leadership for education
programs, senior support and efforts to end hunger and homelessness. Dave Carlin, CBS News, New York.
