It’s no secret that Taylor Swift is generous with her money. But recently, the pop superstar made a sizable donation to a Kansas City nonprofit—and the organization sent her a direct message for her incredible act of kindness.
On Dec. 21, Operation Breakthrough posted a video via X after Swift donated a quarter of a million dollars to the nonprofit based in the home turf of her NFL boyfriend, Travis Kelce. The Kansas City nonprofit “provides a safe, loving and educational environment for children in poverty and empowers their families through advocacy, emergency aid and education,” according to its website.

“Thank you, @taylorswift13, for making our holiday season shine even brighter!” Operation Breakthrough wrote. “Your kindness and thoughtful 250K donation means the world to our children and families.”
At the beginning of the thank-you video, a little girl exclaimed, “Thank you, Taylor!” while making Swift’s signature heart hands. Next, the clip showed a time-lapse of Lego bricks arranged to form Swift’s instantly recognizable face and hair.
Another segment featured a little girl holding a bejeweled sign that read “Thank You.”
“Thank you, Taylor! We all love you!” a young boy adorably yelled while balancing on a bike.
Throughout the clip, many more children and teenagers directly benefitting from Swift’s charitable donation shared their gratitude.
