Country singer Taylor Swift has revealed that she has been trying to help fans with their personal problems during her worldwide Red tour.
The 23-year-old star, who was herself picked on at school, said she sometimes invites concert-goers backstage for a quick chat and gives them ideas to tackle such bullying, reported Femalefirst.
"After the show we pick fans randomly and they're brought backstage into this amazing tent called Club Red. I go in with about 35 to 40 fans and hear what's going on in their lives - whether someone's picking on them at school or if someone had a party and invited every single girl in the class but them," Swift said.
"It happened to me, and that's why as an artist, you should try and help people one-on-one," she added.
