Taylor Swift Donates $5 Million to Hurricane 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.

Throughout her blockbuster “Eras Tour,” Swift has also given money to food banks in many of the cities in which her show took place, including the Edinburgh Food Project and the Arizona Food Bank Network. People also reported that Swift gave out bonuses totaling over $55 million to employees — that’s everyone from her dancers to riggers, sound technicians and catering, among others — working on her stadium tour.

After a short hiatus, Swift is expected to return for her final bow on the “Eras Tour” in December. Swift and her team will tour in North America, hitting cities including Miami, New Orleans, and Indianapolis before heading to Canada to close out the tour with shows in Toronto and Vancouver.
