After UK Charity, Taylor Swift Brings the Same Initiative to Louisiana Amid her Eras Tour

Published 10/29/2024, 10:45 PM EDT

Taylor Swift is bringing more to cities than just her exciting concerts. As one of the wealthiest pop stars in the world, it is not surprising that she also does a lot of charity work. Over the years, the songstress has filled libraries with books, put on charity concerts, and even helped many of her young fans with student loans. And even with her Eras Tour, she has kept the spirit of giving alive. Just this month, before her Eras Tour stop in Miami, Swift donated $5 million to support relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton.

As she made her way to Louisiana with her concerts, Taylor Swift made another generous donation to help those in need.

Second Harvest Food Bank of Greater New Orleans and Acadiana recently announced that Taylor Swift made a generous donation to the organization amid her Eras Tour. The pop star is said to have contributed enough funds to help provide 75,000 meals for families in South Louisiana who are in need. "The kind generosity reminds us that making a difference is possible, together, with people who truly care," Second Harvest said in its social media post, without disclosing the exact amount. 

The food bank also called on its supporters to follow Swift’s example of generosity. Last week, while Louisiana was preparing to welcome Swift in their city with that grand, over-the-top gesture, Second Harvest volunteers were seen packing boxes with canned goods and nonperishable items while grooving to Swift’s songs, all in anticipation of her performances that brought in millions for New Orleans. But this is not the first time Swift has offered her support to food banks.

Taylor Swift reportedly donated to 1,400 food banks and community organizations across the UK, including Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff, and London. These were the same cities she lit up during her record-breaking Eras Tour this summer. According to the CEO of Cardiff Foodbank's statement to PEOPLE, they received one-and-a-half lorries of food with the pop star’s heartfelt donation

This substantial support from Taylor Swift has allowed Cardiff Foodbank to distribute a three-day emergency food parcel ensuring that no one goes hungry. It can be said that even in a system built on profit, there is still room for compassion and community support.
