Pop icon continues her tradition of charitable giving during the Eras Tour, supporting local food banks in need
Taylor Swift’s recent donation to a Cardiff food bank has provided emergency food parcels to 925 people, furthering her commitment to giving back to communities during her Eras Tour. The donation enabled the Cardiff Foodbank to purchase one and a half articulated lorries full of essential food supplies, a significant contribution in the fight against poverty.
Swift, who performed at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on June 18, carried on her tradition of supporting local food banks at each of her tour stops. The Cardiff Foodbank took to social media to express their gratitude, thanking Swift with a heartfelt message made from friendship bracelet beads—a fan symbol from her Eras Tour. In their post, they described her donation as “beyond [their] Wildest Dreams.”
Rachel Biggs, CEO of Cardiff Foodbank, emphasized the profound impact of Swift’s contribution during a time of growing demand. “More and more people are needing to turn to us, with an increasing number of people needing our support for the first time,” said Biggs, noting that the charity had purchased more than double the amount of food compared to the previous year.
While the exact amount of Swift’s donation remains undisclosed, as agreed with her team, the charity acknowledged its tremendous significance in providing relief to those in need. Swift’s team also relayed her personal thanks to everyone working at Cardiff Foodbank for their dedication and service to the community.
The singer’s Eras Tour has been celebrated not only for its record-breaking performances, with fans enjoying more than three hours of music, but also for her continued efforts to use her platform to raise awareness of critical global issues like poverty. Swift’s donation to Cardiff is part of a broader pattern of philanthropy that has accompanied her global tour, further cementing her legacy as an artist who prioritizes giving back to those in need.
