It’s no secret how dedicated Taylor Swift’s fanbase is. They seem to know everything the popstar does along with where she goes. Each of her concerts are a guaranteed sell out, so you could say Taylor is doing pretty well for herself. Actually, she’s one of the richest people in the world because of her popular music career. Taylor Swift might be someone who’s taking it in, but she’s been doing what she can to help out ever since her fame began.
Did you know that she has donated millions of dollars over the course of her career? Many of her fans know, but imagine how many would love her even more if they knew how generous she was. Her fanbase is already familiar with her giving nature toward them, but let’s look at how Taylor has done to help charities through the years.
Just five years after releasing her self published album, Taylor Swift decided she wanted to start making large charitable donations. Her donor timeline begins all the way back in 2011 when she donated $70,000 worth of books to the library in her hometown. The next year, she released her song “Ronan” in honor of one boy’s struggle from cancer. What did she do with the proceeds from the track? She pledged every dollar to cancer charities. That was just the beginning for the famous popstar, though. Since then, she’s donated a lot of money to different charities including Joyful Heart Foundation and multiple natural disaster relief funds.
In December of 2022, Taylor swift made a large donation to a pet rescue foundation called Beth’s Furry Friends. Her first donation of 2023 came with her quiet donations to food banks while on her Eras Tour. The singer finds joy in giving, so she sometimes keeps her contributions to herself unless the receiver makes it known. Also while on her Eras Tour, employees that helped make the tour happen got very large bonuses that equalled around $5M total. How would you like your boss to give you a piece of some million odd dollars? As the year drew to an end, she also supported the Mahomies Foundation in November. To finish off the 2023 year, the famous popstar donated $1M to the Tennessee tornado relief. As we go through 2024, Taylor Swift will likely make even more large contributions that will help support more than just her fans.
