Recently, Taylor Swift's publicist communicated Grimey's New
& Preloved Music with an offer to pay the salaries and healthcare costs for
staff during the next three months. It happened when the store got shut when
the city's mayor issued a state at home order.
"We were very surprised, and I would have to say
amazed, that Taylor Swift reached out to us through her publicist to offer some
relief during the COVID-19 pandemic," a media portal quoted Grimey's
co-owner Doyle Davis as saying.
He further added, "Taylor generously offered some
direct relief to my staff and to cover three months of our health care costs
for our group-insurance plan. It's a huge deal to us, and now I have some peace
of mind as we apply for (Small Business Administration) loans to pay rent,
vendors, and other expenses. This assistance from Ms. Swift helps give us a
real shot at coming back on the other side of this."
Swift has also helped to Feeding America and the World
Health Organization and urged her fans support the organisations amidst COVID-19
crisis.
