Taylor Swift is all about giving this holiday season!
The “Midnights” singer recently donated $250,000 to Operation Breakthrough, a Kansas City-based organization that helps families in need.
While Swift, 35, didn’t publicly speak about the donation, the organization which received her generous gift posted about it on social media.
“Thank you, @taylorswift13, for making our holiday season shine even brighter!” wrote Operation Breakthrough via X. “Your kindness and thoughtful 250K donation means the world to our children and families.”
For Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, 2024 was a year full of personal, professional and romantic highs. The couple — who began dating in summer 2023 — started and ended 2024 on positive notes.

Swift’s local gift makes sense as the pop star has been spending more time in the city since she began dating Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce in 2023.
Alongside the tweet, Operation Breakthrough posted a video montage of children thanking Swift for her gift.
“Thank you Taylor for your support,” a young girl said in the video before smiling for the camera.
Taylor Swift will always remember the moment of her beloved Eras Tour in the back of her mind.

The video also included artwork that the children made in appreciation of the popstar.
This isn’t Swift’s first foray into the season of giving. She and Kelce recently visited a children’s hospital in Kansas City, meeting the young patients and posing for photos with them.
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.
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’ 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.
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are earning some good karma with their latest charity donation. The twosome signed a Kansas City Chiefs jersey featuring Kelce’s number, 87, for Guelph Wish Fund for Children’s upcoming charity auction, Us Weekly can confirm. The nonprofit organization, which is based in Ontario, Canada, provides “wishes” and support to children […]
In December 2023, Swift donated $1 million dollars to aid with the deadly hurricanes that hit Tennessee.
Swift has also been known to be generous with her staff and tour employees.
Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour recently 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.
According to Forbes, the “Evermore” singer has a networth of $1.6 billion dollars, reaching billionaire status back in October of 2023.
