Swifties are showing their support for Bills kicker Tyler Bass with donations to a Buffalo-area cat rescue organization.
Kimberly LaRussa, a spokesperson for Ten Lives Club in Erie County, New York, told TODAY that Taylor Swift fans have been donating to the rescue group in Bass's honor following his crucial missed field goal in the Bills' AFC divisional playoff game loss against the Kansas City Chiefs. Bass is an ambassador for the group.
"There are a lot of Swiftie groups out there that are rallying and donating on behalf of Tyler Bass," LaRussa said.
Hey Swifties! So the Bills kicker clearly had a bad day on Sunday but we all have bad days and absolutely no one deserves the threats he was receiving.

As of Thursday afternoon, Ten Lives Club said it received more than $260,000 through Bass's campaign. Many of the donations have been in $22 increments as a nod to Bass's No. 2 jersey.
"I just hope that's bringing him some joy right now during this time," LaRussa said.
Bass missed what would've been a game-tying, 44-yard field goal late in the Bills' 27-24 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday. Swift, a known cat lover, was in attendance for the game to cheer on the Chiefs and boyfriend Travis Kelce.
