Although many have been forced to shut thrir doors for the foreseeable future, some have been able to continue to pay their employees, all thanks to celebs like Taylor Swift.

Rolling Stone was first to report that Taylor has been helping out Grimy's New & Preloved Music in her hometown amid the economic crisis providing mony for each employee, along with three months worth of healthcare.

According tothe magazine, this mom and pop record store was one of many local stores that were affected by the outbreak, and had to send all of its employees home last month after Nashville's mayor, John Cooper issued the stay-at-home order.

One of Grimey's co-owners, Doyle Davis, issued a statement afther reaching out to Taylor's publicist, gushing about her generosity, saying QUOTE, " We were very surprised, and i would have to say amazed, that Taylor reached out to us through her publicist to offer some relief during the pandemic. I didn't even know we were on her radar, but she really stepped up to help after the recent tornadoes that struck Nashville and middle Tennessee, and now sh's trying to help a beloved small business in her city."

He went on to add that Taylor offering relief to the staff was such a generous favor, adding, "It's a huge deal to us. This assistance from Ms. Swift helps give us a real shot at coming back on the other side of this."

This just goes to show the lengths that many celebrities, including Taylor, are taking to help some of their biggest fans and businesses they truly care about.

So really quick , i gotta ask if you guys are surprised to hear about Taylor's donation, or do you think there may be even more businesses she's helping out under the table?

Be sure to get the conversation going down here in the comments, but this may not come as a surprise to some as we learned from a few lucky Swifties last week that Taylor sent them each 3000$ via Paypal to help cover some of their expenses.

The freelancer named Holly Turner posted a screenshot of Taylor's donation to her via Twitter,writing, "i made a post on tumblr about how i was scared i wouldn't be able to stay living in NYC because of what corona has done to the music industry. @taylorswift13 literally single-handedly saved my ability to stay here, i cannot even believe my eyes right now."

The record stores are just some of the small businesses suffering due to the virus, however,Taylor's donation was part of a wider haul to boost record store sales.

A campaign launched in the UK called #LoveRecordStores, encourages people to purchase record online from independent shops  while we're all practicing social distancing at home.

Elton John is also a major supporter in thecampaign as he shared a three-minute videoin aid of record stores around the world, saying that these shops are "a vital part of the community."
