Taylor Swift, who marked the year with her world tour “Eras World Tour” exceeding 2 billion dollars in revenue, continues to surprise, not only with her musical exploits, but also with her humanitarian commitment.
Monday, December 23, the Operation Breakthrough association, based in Kansas City, revealed that the star had offered a donation of $250,000 to support its action in favor of children living in poverty. This non-profit organization works to provide a safe and stimulating educational environment for the most vulnerable children.
The announcement was made via an Instagram post where children, visibly moved, held up colorful signs to express their gratitude to Taylor Swift. The association accompanied the video with a touching message: “Thank you, Taylor Swift, for making our end-of-year celebrations shine even brighter! Your kindness and thoughtful gift means a lot to our children and families.”
This gesture by Taylor Swift is not trivial. She has a special connection to Kansas City, since her companion, Travis Kelce, emblematic player of the Chiefs, has been a fervent defender of Operation Breakthrough for more than ten years. Travis actively participated in various initiatives of the organization, as Mary Esselman, CEO of the association, recalls: “He came for Read Across America day. He has read to preschool classes and continues to get involved regularly.”
In addition to this donation, Taylor Swift was also recently seen in a children’s hospital, thus increasing acts of kindness during this festive period. Further proof that, behind the phenomenal success, lies an artist with a big heart.
