It’s almost impossible to grasp the global success that followed Taylor Swift. In a little over two decades, she completely dominated the entire industry as she became one of the wealthiest female musicians in history. She also held 14 Grammy Awards and helmed the first concert tour to gross $1 billion. And speaking of money, Swift has always found ways to give back. The singer recently donated a staggering amount to Feeding America.

Just in time for Christmas, Feeding America worked to make sure families had enough food on the table. And with Christmas the season of giving, Swift took it to an entirely different level when she donated $1 million to the organization’s mission. Not caring about the publicity or praise, Swift simply wanted to help those in need.
The generous donation was first announced by Feeding America. The organization wrote, “We’re grateful to @taylorswift for standing with families facing hunger. Her generosity reminds us what’s possible when we come together to help ensure full tables this holiday season and beyond.”

Taylor Swift’s Long History Of Silently Giving
Fans quickly filled the comments with love and support for Swift. One fan even considered her an example for the world. “May God always bless her! Her generosity is an example to all!”
Not all that surprising, this isn’t the first time Swift has offered a substantial amount to those in need. In 2010, she donated $500,000 to the Nashville flood relief after rains devastated the city. She gifted another $50,000 to public schools in New York City.
With GoFundMe centered around people needing help, Swift was a constant visitor. In October, she met a 2-year-old girl named Lilah. Lilah was sadly diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. The family had spent months raising money on GoFundMe for her treatment. Lilah’s mother discussed how much Swift helped her through the pregnancy. Listening to her music the entire time, she promised she “birthed a mini Swiftie.”
Not long after the two met, a mysterious donation appeared on their GoFundMe for $100,000. Although Swift might be a global superstar with a net worth in the billions, she has repeatedly shown that generosity, not fame, is what truly defines her legacy.
