Swift has been donating to food banks in cities where she has performed during the European leg of her blockbuster Eras Tour.
Dublin charity Crosscare have confirmed that Taylor Swift donated to their food poverty services following her trio of sold-out concerts in the Aviva last month.
The amount of money Swift donated to the charity has not been disclosed.
Sharing the news in a statement on their website, Crosscare said: "We are delighted to confirm that Taylor Swift has donated to Crosscare food poverty services following her incredible concerts in Dublin".
The organisation went on to say: "We work with hundreds of families with children who struggle to provide good food every week. We provide them with essential food supplies, help them get back on their feet, and help them find a way to support themselves independently in the long term".
Speaking on the US star, the group said: "Taylor’s donation will enhance our ability to assist even more families in need in the coming months.
"Last year, we supported almost 800 families, including over 1500 children. We distributed over 2,000 food hampers. Demand for our service continues to increase, and with donations from Taylor Swift and our existing supporters, we will be able to solidify this service and expand, if needed, to reach those most in need".

In addition to providing food supplies the charity also offers low-cost nutritious meals every week at its Portland Row café in Dublin.
In 2023 alone, the café served over 6,000 meals between breakfasts, lunches, and takeaways.
