“We are so grateful to Taylor Swift for her generous gifts to Monroe Carell. She is a true partner in providing a brighter, healthier future for the children and communities we serve,” said Juan C. Salazar, MD, MPH, chair of the Department of Pediatrics at Vanderbilt Health.
Salazar emphasized the importance of the timing, noting that the holiday season can be especially difficult for hospitalized children and their families, while the hospital continues to experience a growing number of patients in need of care.
Another statement highlighted Swift’s direct support of the AYA Cancer Program, which focuses on the unique needs of adolescents and young adults battling cancer.
“The future of adolescent and young adult cancer research and care is full of progress because of donors like Taylor Swift,” said Debra Friedman, MD, MS, director of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology at Monroe Carell. “Her gift allows us to personalize care and improve outcomes for these patients.”
Giving Back to Families in Kansas City
On the same day, Operation Breakthrough, a Kansas City-based charity that provides a safe, educational, and supportive environment for children living in poverty, shared news of Swift’s donation via Instagram.
The organization praised Swift for helping empower families through education, emergency aid, and advocacy, reinforcing her ongoing commitment to making a difference in communities tied closely to her personal life.
Acts of Kindness Beyond Donations
Swift’s generosity extended beyond formal donations. On Christmas Day, she attended the Kansas City Chiefs’ final home game at Arrowhead Stadium to support her fiancé, Travis Kelce. While there, she reportedly handed out generous tips to stadium employees.
One worker, Robyn, shared on social media that Swift gave her $600, thanking her for working on Christmas.
“She was running around telling everyone ‘Merry Christmas’ and thanking us for working,” Robyn recalled. “My mind just froze.”
