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.

going to get a medal of freedom at the White House?

to give her one. I hope Biden offers it, or Harris.

"Last fall, former President Barack Obama told Stephen Colbert that he was "shocked" Dolly Parton hadn't gotten a Presidential Medal of Freedom during his time in office. "That was a screwup," he said. "I think I assumed she had already got one."

Now, the country icon says the Trump administration offered her the honor, not once but twice — and she turned it down both times. "I couldn't accept it because my husband was ill, and then they asked me again about it and I wouldn't travel because of the COVID," she said in an interview with the Today show.

Only two weeks into his term, President Biden has not yet announced any new Medal of Freedom recipients. But Parton says she'd be hesitant to accept a possible third offer. "Now I feel like if I take it, I'll be doing politics, so I'm not sure."...(more)

10. That young lady is magnificent.

[Jean Genie]

11. Good for her!

I am so proud to be a fellow Pennsylvanian like Taylor Swift. We lived in the same community (but at different times), Wyomissing, PA. My late mother was a HUGE Taylor fan, and even though their political sentiments ( yes, my mom was a Trumper!) were so very different, she was awfully thrilled to brag that Taylor lived not only in her state, but in a town that my mother knew well.
While I, to this day, could not name one song that Taylor wrote and sings, I do very much admire her. She has a kind heart, and a compassionate nature; in many ways a nice Pennsylvania girl through and through.
Thank you, and bless you, Taylor Swift!
