Taylor Swift makes huge donation to Dublin-based charity following Aviva Stadium Eras Tour

Pop sensation Taylor Swift has generously donated to a Dublin-based charity following her trio of sold-out performances at the Aviva Stadium.

The 34-year-old Bad Blood singer, while on her record-breaking Eras Tour across Europe this summer, has maintained her habit of donating to food banks in each city she performs.

Her contributions have already made a significant difference for the beneficiaries. After her concert at the Principality Stadium in Wales last month, Swift made the largest individual donation ever received by the Cardiff Foodbank.

Charities in Edinburgh, Liverpool and London have also benefited from the ‘Love Story’ star’s financial support. It’s now been revealed that Swift made a similar donation to an Irish charity after her three gigs at the Aviva Stadium last weekend.

The Irish Mail on Sunday reported that the singer donated €25,000 to a Dublin food bank. The name of the recipient charity hasn’t been disclosed as charities typically don’t reveal details about their donors if they request privacy.

Swift’s recent visit to Ireland didn’t just benefit the Dublin-based charity; her three Dublin concerts also sparked a massive increase in capital spending, according to a new survey.
