Taylor Swift is spreading holiday cheer with big donations. She gave $2 million in total just before Christmas 2025 – $1 million to Feeding America and $1 million to the American Heart Association.
Why She Chose These Causes
The gift to the American Heart Association honors her dad, Scott Swift. He had a serious heart surgery (quintuple bypass) in 2025. Taylor talked about it on a podcast. The money will help research, prevention, and better care for heart problems.
Heart disease is the top cause of death in the US. It affects almost half of adults.
For Feeding America, the donation helps fight hunger. This group runs food banks across the country. They gave out billions of meals last year to millions of people, including many kids.
Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, CEO of Feeding America, said Taylor’s help shows what we can do when we work together.
More About Her Giving
Taylor often helps others quietly. She has donated to food banks during her tours and supported many causes over the years.
Some reports say she also gave to music charities like MusiCares and ACM Lifting Lives. This adds even more to her holiday giving.
Her fans love this and often follow her example with their own donations.
This news came out around the same time as her new documentary on Disney+. It reminds us how stars can make a real difference.
