Taylor Swift makes ‘thoughtful’ $250K donation to families in need before attending Chiefs vs. Texans game
Taylor Swift made a very generous donation to Operation Breakthrough before arriving at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday to cheer on her boyfriend Travis Kelce.
Hours before watching the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Houston Texans, the 35-year-old pop star was praised for her $250,000 contribution to the nonprofit, which provides education and assistance to children and families in poverty.
Operation Breakthrough, which has provided a safe and loving environment for Kansas City families since 1971, shared a heartwarming video on social media featuring the children supported by its donation.
“Thank you, @taylorswift13, for making our holidays even brighter! Your kindness and thoughtful donation of 250,000 euros mean a lot to our children and families,” the organization wrote in posts on Instagram and Twitter.
In the footage, a number of children and teens thanked Swift for her support and said they all “love” her.
Over the past year, Swift’s philanthropic efforts also included donations to numerous food banks across the country, visiting patients at Children’s Mercy Hospital last week and handing out $197 million in bonuses to everyone who worked on her Eras Tour.

This is the first Chiefs game since her 21-month Eras Tour in Vancouver on December 8.
The couple has been at the center of engagement rumors in recent weeks after he threw her a surprise party with all her closest friends and family.
While showing her support for Kelce at his latest game, Swift wore a $512 fluffy red jacket from Charlotte Simone, a fluffy bucket hat, black boots and plaid tights.
She was accompanied by her mother Andrea and father Scott.
Earlier this week, photos emerged of the surprise party Kelce threw for Swift to celebrate the end of her marathon tour.
Although it was not her birthday party, it was believed to have been held on December 13, the day she was born.
Rumor has it that Kelce “showered” Swift with gifts and “tons of roses” for her 35th birthday.
A source said Page six that Travis’ hired a private chef and bartender to cook and make cocktails for them. He had his gifts delivered in advance so it would be a surprise.” The athlete also had jewelry engraved especially for Taylor.
After friends of the couple shared photos from Swift’s wrap party, eagle-eyed Swifties spotted a strange detail in some photos as she appeared to cover her ring finger with her pinky in the snap with Brittany Mahomes and Lyndsay Bell.

Several photos showed Swift sipping a cocktail, and a fan who goes by @lizpwoods on Instagram pointed out that the singer’s left ring finger looked “blurred” in one snap.
This led to a wild theory that Swift may have purposely “hidden” an engagement ring so as not to reveal the news that Kelce had finally popped the question.
Swift did not appear to be wearing a ring in the photos shared by Ross Travis, who attended the party and was previously a teammate of Kelce’s.
In one of the images, Travis and Taylor looked friendly as Ross sang into a microphone. He captioned the photo on his Instagram Story: “Eras completed, congratulations Tay!”
The other shows Taylor herself dancing with the microphone in her hand while Kelce stood close to her.

The football player affectionately presented Swift with a black fedora, similar to the one she gave away to a lucky fan at each tour stop during her Red set.
The Cruel Summer hitmaker appeared touched by the gesture as she smiled and looked at him admiringly as he placed the hat on her head.
Kelce made sure every possible detail was present at the bash, from friendship bracelets and a light-up concert to green velvet capes available for guests to don and dance in, like the one she performed in during her Evermore-era set.
