Ruby Rose is setting the record straight for her longtime friend Taylor Swift amid growing online debates about Swift’s billionaire status and charitable giving. After a viral post claimed that Swift “doesn’t deserve to be a billionaire” and “doesn’t actually donate much,” Ruby stepped in with a rare, emotional comment that paints a very different picture of the pop icon.
“Lol. She used to scroll GoFundMe like social media,” Ruby wrote. “Clicking ‘reach their donation’ like it was the like button.” Her comment instantly went viral, offering a glimpse into the private generosity of one of the world’s biggest stars.
Fans were quick to connect the dots. Swift has been known to make anonymous contributions to fans’ fundraisers and crisis campaigns over the years, whether it’s paying for college tuition, rent, or medical emergencies. But this comment from Ruby Rose, one of Swift’s closest industry friends, confirms just how habitual and heartfelt those gestures were.
Ruby Rose defends Taylor Swift following MAGA allegations:

Ruby didn’t stop there. In a pointed follow-up, she added, “As someone who has spent many nights discussing the world’s social industries and life, the showgirl herself, I refuse to say her name in the same sentence as the hate group.” The “hate group” reference was likely aimed at online communities spreading political propaganda against Swift, which Ruby linked to former U.S. President Donald Trump’s circle.
“Given her public position against Trump and his against her,” Ruby continued, “if you’re falling for the propaganda “Tradwife, XYZ claims, you’re most definitely walking into the biggest man-made rage-bait black hole. Stop it. It’s not true and it’s incredibly stupid.”

Her defense struck a chord with fans who feel Swift has become an easy target despite her activism and philanthropy. “It’s embarrassing and hurtful to see energy put into this,” Ruby said. “Keep that energy and let’s take it where it’s necessary and needed.”
With Ruby’s candid words now spreading across social platforms, one thing’s clear: behind the fame, Taylor Swift’s quiet acts of kindness might be far bigger than anyone realized.
