Mega pop star Taylor Swift just made a huge donation to one of North Texas’s most beloved food banks in preparation for her upcoming AT&T Stadium shows this weekend. The Tarrant Area Food Bank, verified on March 30, that the Grammy Award-winning musician did in fact make a generous contribution to aid families in need of food.
“We want to thank Taylor for this gift, and for caring about people who may not know where their next meal will come from in the Tarrant Area,” says Julie Butner, President & CEO of Tarrant Area Food Bank. “Food banks across the state are seeing increases in need due to inflation rising costs and we know her donation couldn’t have come at a greater time of need. Today at the Taylor Area Food Bank, as we’ve been calling it all week, Taylor is a Hunger Hero.”
But this news is only the latest in a slew of philanthropic prowess on the part of Swift who has for years been known to donate funds to people and charities in need. One of Swift’s first donations can be traced back to October of 2011 when she donated $70,000 in books to her hometown library. In 2015 she helped one fan pay their student loans. In 2021, the songstress donated $15,500 to a 19-year-old fan whose mother has been in a coma for three years and the list goes on.
Swift is set to play AT&T Stadium for three nights beginning tomorrow March 31. If you would like to join Taylor in her support for people in need by making a donation click here.
