Feeding America Praises Taylor Swift
Founded in 2020 by Brad Paisley and Williams-Paisley, The Store offers free groceries to people facing hardship.
Unlike a traditional food pantry, it allows families to choose the items they need, helping them feel respected and supported.
According to its mission, The Store works to fight hunger with empathy, dignity, and long-term solutions.
Swift's donation fits into a long pattern of giving, especially at the end of each year. In December 2025, she donated $1 million to Feeding America.
Feeding America CEO Claire Babineaux-Fontenot praised the gift, saying it showed what is possible when people work together to end hunger and help families have full tables.
That same month, Swift also donated $1 million to the American Heart Association in honor of her father, Scott Swift, who had quintuple bypass surgery earlier that year, US Magazine reported.
The organization said the donation would help support research, prevention, and access to life-saving care.
Its CEO, Nancy Brown, said Swift's generosity would create lasting change and raise awareness about heart health.
