The holidays may be over but Taylor Swift's giving spree is still in full force as she recently donated to a fellow country superstar's charity.

It was revealed on Tuesday that Swift, 36, provided a 'generous gift' to Brad Paisley and his wife Kimberly Williams-Paisley's non-profit The Store.

The Store, which the Paisleys founded in 2020, aims to 'combat food insecurity in Middle Tennessee' with a food pantry that operates like a free grocery store.

The non-profit's official Facebook page issued a public thank you to Swift, praising the Grammy-winner for 'uplifting' the community with her 'voice and generosity.'

However, The Store did not reveal any details about Swift's 'generous gift' but the star recently made $1 million donations to two major charities.

Tennessee is close to Swift's heart as she famously moved to Nashville with her family back in 2004 when she was 14-years-old to pursue a music career.

As for Swift's connection to Paisley, the 53-year-old hitmaker had Swift open for him on his 2007 tour following the release of her debut, self-titled album.

'We're incredibly grateful to Taylor Swift for including The Store in her year-end giving,' The Store's thank-you note to Swift began.
'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.'

The Facebook post also included a photo of Swift on her billion-dollar Eras Tour with the caption: 'Thank you, Taylor Swift. Your generosity is providing food and hope to families in need.'

Paisley's wife Kimberly personally expressed her gratitude to Swift on her Instagram Story while re-sharing The Store's post.

'@taylorswift we appreciate your support of @thestore_nashville,' penned the Father of the Bride star, 54, followed by a green heart emoji and a prayer hands emoji.

The Store is just one of many charitable organizations and hospitals that received donations from Swift during the 2025 holiday season.

Days before Christmas, the Anti-Hero hitmaker offered a donation to Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt located in Nashville.

It is not the first act of kindness that the hospital has received from Swift, who notably opened Seacrest Studios there back in 2016 and has also paid special visits to patients over the years.

'We are so grateful to Taylor Swift for her generous gifts to Monroe Carell,' Juan C. Salazar, MD, MPH, chair of the Department of Pediatrics at Vanderbilt Health said in a statement on Vanderbilt University Medical Center's website.

He expressed that the 'gifts are so timely' while adding 'we are also seeing continued increases in the number of patients and families who turn to us for care. This makes a difference for us all.'

Swift's generosity was further recognized by Debra Friedman, MD, MS, director of the Division of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology.

She said, 'The future of adolescent and young adult cancer research and care is full of progress and possibilities because of the generosity of donors like Taylor Swift.'

'Her gift enables our teams to personalize cancer care for the unique challenges these patients face, leading to improved outcome.'

Swift also donated to Operation Breakthrough in Kansas City ahead of the new year, which also posted the news to its Instagram page last month.

The nonprofit organization 'provides a safe, loving and educational environment for children in poverty and empowers their families through advocacy, emergency aid and education,' per the official website.

Days before her children's hospital donations, Swift made a massive $1 million charitable contribution to the American Heart Association in honor of her father, Scott Swift.

'Taylor's contribution enables the advancement of ongoing scientific research, stronger prevention and treatment efforts, and expanded access to life-saving care for every community,' the organization announced on their Instagram.

Swift's 73-year-old father underwent quintuple bypass surgery in June to remove 'five hard blockages.'

Swift previously marveled at the fact that Scott always had healthy EKGs at his annual physicals, but it was a resting stress test that alerted him to the problem.

The Father Figure singer spent the entire summer in Florida helping the financial adviser -- whom she calls her 'best friend' -- recover, and she called the parent-child reversal 'wild.'

Last month, Swift donated $1 million to Feeding America for families facing hunger.

Swift's charitable contribution to the American Heart Association came on the same day she donated $1 million to Feeding America for families facing hunger.

The organization made the announcement with an Instagram post on December 23 with a caption that read: 'We're grateful to @taylorswift for standing with families facing hunger.'

The organization continued to heap praise on the Style hitmaker as Feeding America's chief executive officer Claire Babineaux-Fontenot also released a statement which began: 'We are incredibly grateful for Taylor Swift's $1 million gift to Feeding America.'

Swift's giving season also included donations to the music-centered charities MusiCares, ACMLiftingLives and the CMA Foundation.
