Taylor Swift Donates $5 Million to Hurricane Helene and Milton Relief Efforts
Taylor Swift has donated $5 million in relief efforts for communities struggling in the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
On their social media, the non-profit organization Feeding America released a statement from CEO Babineaux-Fontenot confirming Swift’s “generous donation.”
“We’re incredibly grateful to Taylor Swift for her generous $5 million donation to Hurricanes Helene and Milton relief efforts,” the post reads. “This contribution will help communities rebuild and recover, providing essential food, clean water, and supplies to people affected by these devastating storms. Together, we can make a real impact in supporting families as they navigate the challenges ahead. Thank you, Taylor, for standing with us in the movement to end hunger and for helping communities in need.”
Swift has made similar contributions in the past, including a $1 million donation towards natural disaster relief after storms impacted Tennessee in December 2023. She also granted $100,000 to the family of a 44-year-old woman killed at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade in February 2024.
Throughout her blockbuster “Eras” tour, Swift has also donated money to food banks in many of the cities in which her show stopped, including the Edinburgh Food Project and the Arizona Food Bank Network. People Magazine also reported that Swift gave out bonuses totaling over $55 million to her employees — that’s everyone from her dancers to riggers, sound technicians and catering, among others — working on the tour.
Swift is expected to continue her “Eras” tour, her final bow on the trek, in December. Swift and crew will tour in North America, hitting cities including Miami, New Orleans, and Indianapolis before heading to Canada to close out the tour with six shows in Toronto and three in Vancouver.
