Global pop icon Taylor Swift has once again demonstrated her philanthropic spirit by making a generous donation to The Store, the nonprofit organisation founded by renowned American country singer Brad Paisley. On Tuesday, 13 January 2026, The Store announced via their Facebook page that Swift, 36, had contributed a sum that will help the charity continue providing dignified food support to families across Middle Tennessee.
In their announcement, The Store expressed heartfelt gratitude:
“Thank you, Taylor, for using your voice and generosity to support your neighbours.”
They further shared on Instagram Stories,
“We are eternally grateful for Taylor’s generosity and support, which assists us in the ongoing fight for food security in our community.”
Brad Paisley’s wife and fellow musician, Kimberly Williams-Paisley (54), also took to Instagram Stories to personally thank Swift, writing,
“Taylor, we are forever grateful for your support.”
Founded in 2020, The Store’s mission is to ensure food security in Middle Tennessee while emphasising compassion, dignity, and respect. Beyond distributing basic food assistance, the organisation provides holistic solutions, focusing on personal choice, education, and empowerment. During the holiday season, The Store transforms into a toy emporium for children, allowing them to select toys from various manufacturers, a tradition Brad Paisley describes as “the most magical moment.”
Swift’s contribution arrives at a pivotal time, as The Store prepares to open its second branch. Earlier, on 30 December 2025, she also donated to Vanderbilt University’s Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital for its cancer programmes, as well as Operation Breakthrough, a Kansas City-based charity supporting underprivileged children. Throughout December 2025, Swift further supported organisations such as Feeding America, the American Heart Association, MusiCares, CMA Foundation, and ACM Lifting Lives.
The table below summarises Taylor Swift’s key donations from December 2025 through January 2026:

Swift’s philanthropic efforts underscore that her generosity extends far beyond the music industry, impacting communities across the United States and reaffirming her status as one of today’s most socially conscious artists. Her support not only sustains vital services but also brings hope, dignity, and joy to countless families and children.
