Taylor Swift praised by fans as she makes 'generous donation' to food bank on Eras Tour

Taylor Swift has been praised after it was announced that she had made a donation to a food bank in Michigan whilst visiting the state as part of her latest headlining tour.

The singer-songwriter, 33, embarked on her the Eras Tour a few months ago and she has already visited a host of cities in the US, with her most recently performing in Detroit.

She headed to the city earlier this week and took to the stage at Ford Field stadium on Friday and Saturday, where she performed a number of her songs for audiences.

It has been announced that Taylor made a donation to the Gleaners Community Food Bank in the state amid the concerts, with the news having attracted praise from fans.

The charity organisation - which is based in southeast Michigan - shared the news in posts on social media earlier this week, in which it expressed gratitude towards Taylor.

The respective posts on platforms like Instagram included a quote that has long been attributed to Taylor, which reads: "No matter what happens in life, be good to people."

Addressing the quote and the donation, it added recently: "These words ring true today with Taylor's surprise donation to Gleaners during her [the Eras Tour] stop in #Detroit."

Gleaners Community Food Bank further commented in the posts earlier this week: "Thank you for making an impact and empowering kids and families with nutritious food!"

The amount donated by Taylor to the charity organisation hasn't been disclosed, as reported by the Detroit Free Press, but it has been described as a "generous donation".

The Grammy Award winner has been praised for donating to the charity organisation, with one person reacting to the news: "A true angel." Another said: "That's awesome".

A third person commented: "Wonderful. What a generous gift". Whilst another person responded by writing on social media recently: "She's absolutely an amazing human".

"She's truly the best," wrote another person. Someone else commented about the recent news: "This is very sweet of her." Another person reacted by writing: "Love this".

Other fans took the opportunity to express gratitude towards Taylor for her donation in their responses to the news, like one person who commented: "Thank you Taylor".

According to its website, Gleaners Community Food Bank serves five counties in southeast Michigan and is a "vital link between available food and those who need it most".

The charity organisation is said to provide food for more than 400 partner soup kitchens, food pantries, shelters, schools and other agencies that are located within the region.

It is headquartered in Detroit and is said to also host drive-through mobile distributions that offer "balanced nutrition" in communities and that don't require an appointment.
