Taylor Swift is ringing in the holiday cheer with a sizable donation of $1 million to Feeding America, a nonprofit network of 200 food banks combating hunger in the United States.
The charity announced the donation on Instagram, thanking the singer for her act of altruism. “We are incredibly grateful for Taylor Swift‘s $1 million gift to Feeding America,” reads the post, authored by Feeding America CEO Claire Babineaux-Fontenot. “This holiday season, her continued support is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we unite to end hunger. When we join together alongside people facing hunger, we can make sure families have a full table this holiday season and beyond.”
Swift previously donated $5 million to Feeding America in October 2024 in an effort to provide relief to communities struggling in the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton. She also made similar contributions in the past, including $1 million towards natural disaster relief after storms impacted Tennessee in December 2023, as well as $100,000 to the family of a 44-year-old woman killed at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade in February 2024.

More recently, Swifties banded together to rally support for Feeding America to help support food banks and those affected by potential cuts in the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP). Swifties for Hope used social media this past October to encourage fans to donate $13 or whatever they could provide.
Earlier this morning, Swift released the final two episodes of her docuseries “The End of an Era,” which bowed on Disney+ just ahead of the holidays.
