You donate and you pay less tax

As a US citizen, she is only allowed to claim donations to charities registered in the US. The $100k she just dropped in Melbourne, Australia wouldn’t be eligible for example. Therefore it’s not free PR, she actually paid about $100k for it.

$100k is equivalent to 6 dollars for a normal person

Cool. I acknowledged that way further up thread. That doesn’t mean you aren’t wrong friend.

A lot of billionaires do donate sums like these without direct personal gain. They also have more complex tax optimization/scams going on. None of that means they are virtuous people, and neither is taylor swift. She's just like any other billionaire.
