Looking back at 2023, here are just a few milestones Taylor Swift crossed before celebrating her 34th birthday on December 13. She became a billionaire, her Eras Tour grossed over $1 billion, she was named Time’s 2023 Person of the Year, landed a historic deal with AMC, and was Spotify’s most-streamed artist. While that is just a sample of what the singer did in 2023, she spent the last week with friends, celebrating another year. And among those around her was none other than Selena Gomez. While friends since 2008, Gomez not only toured New York City with the singer but was sure to share a post on social media, wishing her bestie a Happy Birthday.

While countless people wished Swift a happy birthday, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals decided to use the moment to ask for donations. It’s no secret that the singer loves animals, so they shared, “Today you have the chance to be person of the year for animals in need by participating in the viral #TaylorSwiftChallenge and donating just $13 to a shelter in her name.”
