In reality, the food bank charity Feeding America announced on Oct. 9, 2024, that Swift had made a $5 million donation to help feed victims of both Hurricane Helene and the more recent Hurricane Milton. Feeding America CEO Claire Babineaux-Fontenot made the announcement on Instagram:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"col-body mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-battleship dark:text-bob\">\n<div class=\"grid grid-cols-[[fullbleed-start_body-start]_auto_[body-end_fullbleed-end]]\">\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\"><em>We\u2019re incredibly grateful to Taylor Swift for her generous $5 million donation to Hurricanes Helene and Milton relief efforts.
