  "summary": "Taylor Swift has reached 100 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart across all of her albums combined, according to Variety. Billboard reports that her album The Life of a Showgirl spent a 14th nonconsecutive week at the top of the chart for the week dated Oct. 17, earning 93,000 equivalent album units in the United States. This follows a jump from No. 21 to No. 1 after the album was reissued in a deluxe edition on Sept. 25.\n\nThe singer has a history of large charitable contributions. The Times of India reports that in May 2012, Swift pledged $4 million toward a new education centre at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, which was named in her honor. The Economic Times notes that in August, Swift donated $50,000 to a GoFundMe campaign for Ashley Taunton, a mother who was injured in a July road accident in Rhode Island. This followed an announcement from Swift and her fiancé, Travis Kelce, that they had made a combined $26 million donation to 20 charities in the United States.",
