Rachel Biggs from Cardiff Foodbank in Wales told The Guardian in June that the Midnights singer donated 10,800 worth of meals that will feed about 1,200 people for three days. She called Swift's donation a "breathing space" for their organization and the people they are helping.

The pop star was also reportedly generous towards her Eras Tour crew, as she gave about 50 truckers a check for $100,000. She also reportedly gave the dancers, caterers, and other staff members of her record-breaking global tour unspecified cash bonuses.
