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.
The latest Bank of Ireland Spending Pulse, which analyses debit and credit card spending, has revealed the economic impact of Taylor Swift’s three-day run of concerts in Dublin last weekend.

Beauty spa spending was up 34 per cent as ‘Swifties’ got ready for their big night out, while spending on Spotify streams increased by 20 per cent, and record stores recorded a 19 per cent spending boost.
Meanwhile, total social spending across Dublin in pubs, restaurants and fast food rose 13 per cent compared to the previous weekend.
