Taylor Swift Gives $1 Million Each to Feeding America and the AHA, Plus an Undisclosed Gift to MusiCares

The gifts reflect a pattern of targeted giving shaped by her father's heart surgery.

Overview

  • On Dec. 23, Feeding America and the American Heart Association confirmed $1 million donations from Taylor Swift, and MusiCares said it received a separate "generous" gift.
  • The American Heart Association said the donation honors Scott Swift after his June quintuple bypass and will fund research, prevention, treatment efforts, and broader access to care.
  • Feeding America, a network of roughly 200 food banks, said the contribution helps ensure full tables during the holidays and supports ongoing anti-hunger work.
  • MusiCares, the Recording Academy’s charity, said Swift’s contribution supports crisis relief, health services, and financial assistance for music professionals, without disclosing an amount.
  • Tuesday’s announcements total at least $2 million in giving and extend Swift’s consistent record of high-value, targeted philanthropy highlighted by prior food-bank support.
