Taylor proved her generosity tenfold amid The Eras Tour, when she gave hefty bonuses to not only her crew, band and team, but also donating significant sums to food banks in the cities she made tour stops in.
The Chief Marketing Officer at the Food Bank of the Rockies in Denver Aditi Desai confirmed that Taylor donated “tens of thousands of meals” to the organization amid her 2023 Eras Tour stop, noting she was “shocked and then thrilled” by the gesture.
“They were so kind,” she explained to the Associated Press, “letting us know that Taylor wanted to express her gratitude for the work we do in our community every day.”
But while Taylor has changed over the years, she’s also stayed the same. In the earliest days of her career, Taylor emphasized that her favorite part of earning a lot of money is getting to give it away.
“For me, that’s the most fun thing in the world,” she explained during an interview on The Hot Desk in 2009. “Rather than buying a Lamborghini, I just make sure everyone feels like they’re in the right place.”
As she put it, “You do it because you’ve been given a real good lot in life and I just am really grateful so I try to help other people when I can.”
