Taylor Swift holiday donations
Big picture view:
The American Heart Association, Feeding America, MusiCares and the Academy of Country Music have shared they received donations from Swift.
By the numbers:
The American Heart Association and Feeding America both said they’d each received a $1 million donation, while MusicCares and the Academy of Country Music did not disclose an amount.
What they're saying:
The American Heart Association said her contribution was made in honor of her father, Scott Swift, whose heart condition she spoke about earlier this year.
"Taylor Swift’s remarkable generosity will create lasting change far beyond its financial value. Her family’s experience with cardiovascular disease is all too common, affecting nearly half of American adults. Her commitment to supporting her father will make so many others aware of the need to take their own heart health seriously, strengthen prevention efforts, and improve controllable risk factors – ultimately helping more people live longer, healthier lives," said Nancy Brown.

"We’re grateful to @taylorswift13 for standing with families facing hunger. Her generosity reminds us what’s possible when we come together to help ensure full tables this holiday season and beyond," Feeding America wrote on X.
"A real legacy to leave: MusiCares is thrilled to share that we’ve received a generous donation from Taylor Swift, which will help support our vital programs, resources, & financial assistance for the music community in need. It takes a village to bring the music fans love to life, and Taylor's donation helps ensure that all music professionals, across genres and professions, don't have to choose between a life in music and life-sustaining care," MusiCares wrote on Facebook.
"We’re feeling "enchanted" to be a recipient of Taylor Swift’s incredible generosity! Her gift ushers in the 20th anniversary of ACM Lifting Lives and serving the Country Music Community, providing music therapy, and lifting lives through the power of music. Taylor embodies that all too well!" their post read.
