Taylor Swift gives back with 2 major holiday gifts
Taylor Swift is putting her money where her heart is.

A separate press release from the AHA said that the singer donated $1 million in honor of her father, Scott Swift.
Swift previously opened up about her dad's experience with cardiovascular disease during her debut on her fiancé Travis Kelce's podcast, \"New Heights\" in August, saying that her dad underwent quintuple bypass surgery over the summer.
In a statement, AHA CEO Nancy Brown said Swift's donation \"will create lasting change far beyond its financial value.\"

\"Her family's experience with cardiovascular disease is all too common, affecting nearly half of American adults,\" Brown said. \"Her commitment to supporting her father will make so many others aware of the need to take their own heart health seriously, strengthen prevention efforts, and improve controllable risk factors -- ultimately helping more people live longer, healthier lives.\"
Swift's donations ahead of the holidays are just the latest example of Swift's long-standing generosity, which has seen her contribute millions to disaster relief efforts, education programs and more over the years.

During her sold-out Eras Tour in 2023, she also made donations to food banks amid her sold-out shows happening across the country.
Recently, in her \"End of an Era\" docuseries, Swift also revealed that she decided to increase bonuses for the hardworking crew of her Eras Tour when it shattered international music records and grossed more than $2 billion in ticket sales.
\"A bonus day is so important, because setting a precedent with the Eras Tour is really important to me -- because people who work on the road, if the tour grosses more, they get more of a bonus,\" Swift said in the docuseries' second episode. \"These people just work so hard, and they are the best at what they do.\"
