Taylor Swift has donated a sizeable sum of money to lend support to those impacted by Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton.

Non-profit organisation Feeding America released a statement on its social media accounts, with CEO Claire Babineaux-Fontenot confirming Swift's "generous donation".

"We're incredibly grateful to Taylor Swift for her generous $5 million (£3.8 million) donation to Hurricanes Helene and Milton relief efforts," the post read.

"This contribution will help communities rebuild and recover, providing essential food, clean water and supplies to people affected by these devastating storms. Together, we can make a real impact in supporting families as they navigate the challenges ahead. Thank you, Taylor, for standing with us in the movement to end hunger and for helping communities in need."

Swift has made similar contributions in the past, including a $1 million (£770,000) donation towards natural disaster relief after storms impacted Tennessee in December 2023. She also granted $100,000 (£77,000) to the family of a 44-year-old woman killed at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade in February.

On 5 October, AP News reported that the death toll from Hurricane Helene had reached 227, and it was unclear how many people were unaccounted for and missing.

Hurricane Milton is poised to be the costliest disaster in Florida's history.
