The Husky

It was a Monday in early August 2023. The exhausted truck drivers of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour thought they were heading to a routine production meeting before the Los Angeles shows. They had no idea what was coming. Scott Swift walked in. Taylor's father didn't say much—he just began handing out envelopes. When the drivers finally peeked inside, some thought the check said $1,000. Others read $10,000. The third driver stared at his and said out loud: "This has to be a joke." It wasn't. $100,000. Each driver. Nearly 50 of them. The industry standard bonus from the biggest stars? $5,000 to $10,000. Taylor had given them more than ten times that. But here's what made it matter most: these drivers weren't wealthy. They lived in truck cabs. They hadn't seen their families in 24 weeks. They were people who would never own homes—until now. Until that envelope. That moment of shock and tears? It was just the beginning. Across the entire Eras Tour, Taylor quietly handed out $197 million in bonuses. The dancers. The band. The riggers. The lighting and sound technicians. The caterers. Every single person who built the show—they got bonuses, handwritten notes, and wax-sealed letters. When dancers opened theirs on camera in her docuseries, they broke down crying. Some couldn't believe she was real. "If the tour grosses more, they get more," she explained simply. These people work hard. They deserve it. But the crew bonuses weren't the only quiet revolution happening. Starting in March 2023, in every city where the tour touched down, a call came to local food banks. Taylor wanted to donate. No press conference. No announcement. No photo op. One donation fed 75,000 meals. Another provided hundreds of thousands of pounds of fresh produce. Across the tour, the total reached millions of meals—possibly more—all delivered in silence. She never posted about a single one. And it wasn't new for her. In March 2020, when the pandemic locked down the world, Taylor scrolled through social media posts from fans who were breaking. A photographer about to lose everything. A person staring down eviction. She sent direct messages with rent money—$3,000 here, $13,000 there. Some fans got enough for months of bills. She read the Washington Post. She noticed the names. She helped. She never announced it. Years later, in October 2025, a two-year-old named Lilah—fighting a cancer so rare that only 58 families in America had ever known it—was filmed by her mother dancing to a Taylor Swift song. Lilah called Taylor her friend. A few days later, the GoFundMe received a $100,000 donation. The note said: "Sending the biggest hug to my friend, Lilah! Love, Taylor." Mike Scherkenbach has worked with the wealthiest people in music. He's seen the bonuses. He's seen the behavior. He's watched billionaires guard their money jealously. What he saw with Taylor was different. The biggest tour in history grossed $2 billion. The artist behind it became a billionaire from her own songwriting. And then she signed her name onto hundreds of envelopes by hand and sent enough money back to the people who built her dream that they cried opening their letters. That isn't strategy. That isn't a publicity stunt. That's what happens when someone, somewhere along the way, remembered what matters.

This is probably going to tick some people off, and I hope it does. But I’m going to keep on sharing it and saying it. And once again, I am not a Swiftie, but I am a human being, a Dad AND, a Monstrous Football fan. I am extremely disappointed in so many of you who think that "not being a fan" of someone means you're entitled to shit all over them. I want to remind you of something. Your children are watching you complain about Taylor Swift sitting at a football game, being happy, and cheering for a man she loves in what appears to be a very loving, respectful relationship. Your Children are watching you judge a woman for literally just EXISTING and taking up space happily. And you know what? Ms. Swift has won 324 awards? How many do you have? She brought $5 BILLION dollars in consumer spending and boosted the U. S. economy so significantly, that leaders from other countries actually beg for her to play there? Did you know that there are over 20 college courses about her skills as an artist, lyricist, and musician - including at places like Harvard, Stanford & UC Berkeley? Did you know that Taylor Swift quietly donates mass amounts of money to local food banks in every city she performs in? AND DID YOU KNOW … That Taylor Swift was sexually assaulted by a radio DJ, and she got him fired? When he sued HER for over $3 million for defamation, she counter sued for a symbolic $1 in a court case that took 2 YEARS for her to win. And, she did that just to show women that fighting for what's right has no price tag & to never be silent in the face of oppression. WELL IF YOU DON’T CARE BY NOW, YOU SHOULD. Because your daughters, nieces, and your nephews are watching you run your mouth. And they are seeing the world hate a woman who does so much good, simply because she exists in their line of sight. DO BETTER PEOPLE. Teach your boys to respect women. Teach your girls that as women - they are ALLOWED to take up space. Fix it. Become aware of your words. Because we all have the ability and the obligation to fight for the future of our children with simple moments. And we need to consciously choose to be better for them.

A conversation with a man: Me: All men Him: Not all men Me: okay. You have a daughter, right? Would you be comfortable with her going to a party with a bunch of other girls, with no boys present? Him: yes (without hesitation) Me: cool. Would you be comfortable with her going to a party with a bunch of boys, with no girls present. Him: no (without hesitation) Me: why? Him: Cause there will be at least 2-3 boys who are a problem. Me: cool. So if those 2-3 boys do something horrible, will the other boys step in? Say something? Tell someone? Him: (hesitates).... Me: exactly. All men.
