Taylor Swift’s generosity shines all year round, but it’s especially heartwarming during the holiday season. After wrapping up her 149-show Eras Tour, Swift didn’t take time to rest. Instead, she visited a children’s hospital just one day before her 35th birthday. During her visit, she engaged with the kids, signed Eras Tour books, posed for photos, and even played Santa by gifting them thoughtful presents.
Swift’s generosity goes beyond just a one-time act. Throughout her Eras Tour, she made a huge impact by donating to food banks, animal shelters, and even giving substantial bonuses to her crew, including $100k to her truck drivers. Her kindness didn’t stop there: when one girl in the hospital mentioned wanting a Dyson Airwrap for Christmas, Swift delivered the next day, sending a box to her hospital room with a sweet note: “In case Santa doesn’t come through. Love, Taylor Swift.”
Another young girl, Naya, complimented Swift’s outfit, and in return, Swift gifted her the same plaid Miu Miu ensemble she had worn. Naya shared the surprise on social media, showing off the outfit and the heartfelt note from Swift, which read: “I loved meeting you. I purposely didn’t tell you where I got it because I had a plan. Picked you up a few things I hope you’ll think are tea. Ha… Merry Christmas! Love, Taylor.”
But Swift’s philanthropy didn’t end with the children’s hospital. She recently donated a whopping $250,000 to the non-profit Operation Breakthrough, an organization supported by her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. The organization thanked her for “making our holiday season shine,” showcasing Swift’s commitment to helping those in need without seeking recognition for it.
With such acts of kindness, Taylor Swift truly embodies the spirit of giving, showing that we don’t need Santa when we have someone like her spreading joy all year long.
