Taylor Swift‘s end-of-year generosity has continued into 2026. The Store, a non-profit helmed by Brad Paisley and his wife Kimberly Williams-Paisley, revealed that the pop star included them in her donations ahead of the holidays.
“We’re incredibly grateful to Taylor Swift for including The Store in her year-end giving,” the nonprofit wrote on Facebook on Tuesday. “Her generous gift helps us continue providing groceries with dignity and choice to families across Middle Tennessee especially as we prepare to open our second location. Thank you, Taylor, for using your voice and generosity to uplift neighbors in need.”
Williams-Paisley personally thanked Swift on her Instagram Stories, writing, “@taylorswift we appreciate your support of @thestore_nashville!!💚🙏🙏🙏.”
The Store, launched in 2020, aims to “combat food insecurity in Middle Tennessee with empathy, dignity, and respect.” Its website notes that the organization “transcends traditional food aid, offering comprehensive solutions to hunger and poverty.”
“Our approach not only addresses immediate food needs but also promotes a sustainable solution to food insecurity,” the website explains. “By empowering individuals and families with choice, education, and support, The Store is redefining what it means to provide food assistance and making a lasting impact in the fight against hunger.”
Although the Store didn’t reveal how much Swift donated, based on her prior donations we can assume it was a substantial amount. In December, she gave $1 million to Feeding America, a non-profit that oversees a network of food banks, food pantries, and local meal programs. She also made a “generous donation” to MusiCares that will help “support our vital programs, resources, & financial assistance for the music community in need,” according to the non-profit’s social media.

Several other organizations later revealed in December that Swift had included them in her donations. She contributed to Nashville’s Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt and Operation Breakthrough in Kansas City. “Thank you @taylorswift for supporting Operation Breakthrough,” they shared on Instagram. “We are so grateful for your kindness and for championing creativity, education, and opportunity for our over 750 students!”
Swift has often exhibited notable generosity throughout her career. During the Eras Tour, she donated money to food banks in the cities where her concerts took place. In March 2020, the longtime Nashville resident donated $1 million to the Middle Tennessee Emergency Response Fund after Nashville and surrounding areas state were struck by deadly storms. And in February, following the tragic death of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, who was killed in a mass shooting at a Kansas City Chiefs’ victory parade, Swift donated $100,000 to a GoFundMe for the Lopez-Galvan family.
