Samantha Jacobson was also stunned Wednesday night when she realized she had received $3,000 from Taylor Nation, LLC. According to Entertainment Weekly, Jacobson lost her job as a cocktail server at Disney World in Orlando; the outbreak prompted the owners of a third-party bar to close its doors for about a month, leaving her strapped for cash.
