The \u201cMidnights\u201d singer recently donated $250,000 to Operation Breakthrough, a Kansas City-based organization that helps families in need.<\/p>\n

While Swift, 35, didn\u2019t publicly speak about the donation, the organization which received her generous gift posted about it on social media.<\/p>\n

Swift\u2019s local gift makes sense as the pop star has been spending more time in the city since she began dating Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 tight end\u00a0Travis Kelce<\/a>Travis Kelce<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0in 2023.<\/p>\n

Alongside the tweet, Operation Breakthrough posted a video montage of children thanking Swift for her gift.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you Taylor for your support,\u201d a young girl said in the video before smiling for the camera.<\/p>\n

The video also included artwork that the children made in appreciation of the popstar.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t Swift\u2019s first foray into the season of giving. She and Kelce recently visited a children\u2019s hospital in Kansas City, meeting the young patients and posing for photos with them.<\/p>\n

Swift has a history of charitable donations. After the devastation caused by Hurricane Milton and Hurricane Helene in Fall of 2024, she gave $5 million dollars toward recovery efforts.<\/p>\n

Back in February of 2024, Swift made another local donation to the Kansas City community. Following the shooting that killed one woman at the Chiefs\u2019 Super Bowl victory parade, Swift gave $100,000 to the family in two installments through their GoFundMe. Kelce donated money to the family as well.<\/p>\n

In December 2023, Swift donated $1 million dollars to aid with the deadly hurricanes that hit Tennessee.<\/p>\n

Swift\u2019s record-breaking\u00a0Eras Tour<\/em>\u00a0recently wrapped up its last show in Canada. During her two-year-long tour, Swift gave out $197 million dollars in bonuses to her team, including truck drivers, hair and makeup staff, production assistants, caterers and more.<\/p>\n

According to Forbes, the \u201cEvermore\u201d singer has a networth of $1.6 billion dollars, reaching billionaire status back in October of 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
