Taylor Swift is feeding a lot of families this holiday season.
"We're grateful to @taylorswift for standing with families facing hunger," nonprofit network Feeding America posted Tuesday on social media. "Her generosity reminds us what's possible when we come together to help ensure full tables this holiday season and beyond."
The caption was accompanied by a photo headlined "Thank you, Taylor!" that included a statement from CEO Claire Babineaux-Fontenot.

“We are incredibly grateful for Taylor Swift’s $1 million gift to Feeding America. This holiday season, her continued support is a powerful reminder of what's possible when we unite to end hunger," her statement read. "When we join together alongside people facing hunger, we can make sure families have a full table this holiday season and beyond."
The "Back to December" artist's supporters cheered her donation to the network of food banks across the country.

"Thank you, @taylorswift, on behalf of neighbors facing hunger here in Central Florida and across America," one commenter wrote.
Another thanked the singer for "showing that there’s still kindness in the world."
A third had "never been happier to be a Swiftie!"
Swift has been especially generous with her fortune in 2025.
As fans saw in the second episode of her Disney+ docuseries The End of an Era, which dropped Dec. 12, she also gifted generous bonus checks to each member of her crew on the super successful Eras tour when it ended. She also presented them with handwritten notes thanking them for all their hard work.

The hefty bonuses to dancers, lighting and sound techs, caterers, and the many others required to produce the concerts left some in shock. In all, PEOPLE reported, Swift gave away $197 million in the move, according to PEOPLE.
But don't worry about the 14-time Grammy winner when it comes to finances.
Pollstar, which collects data on the concert industry, announced way back in December 2023 that the much-desired ticket was, officially, the highest-grossing tour ever. The Eras Tour was the first to earn $1 billion, collecting an estimated $1.04 billion in total ticket gross with the sale of 4.35 million tickets for 60 shows. The stunning figure did not include The Eras Tour film, (reportedly another $250 million) or the merchandise sold ($200 million).
And there was still another (mega successful) year to go.
Forbes estimated in August that Swift herself is worth $1.6 billion.
