Taylor Swift made a ‘generous donation’ to 1,400 food banks across the UK in cities she played in on her Eras tour.
The 34-year-old singer handed over an ‘unexpected’ contribution to Trussell food banks in Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff and London – the cities she performed her record-breaking global tour this summer.
Swift, who became the first artist to play Wembley Stadium eight times on the same tour, is thought to have given the country a huge economic boost of almost £1 billion following the UK leg of her Eras Tour.
Ms Carre continued: ‘We weren’t expecting it, but obviously we were really delighted when we found out.
‘I think with something like this, you never know, and we were very excited when her team got in touch.

‘It’s a really nice opportunity to make a local impact, but know you’re part of a national cause, and you can see the impact nationwide as well. It’s great that it’s an opportunity to connect that local and national impact.’
Ms Carre said Swift had helped highlight the charity’s work.
Asked whether the singer’s gift has prompted others to donate, she said: ‘I haven’t seen anything to that effect at the moment, but I know that it’s really helpful she’s put a spotlight on Trussell and our food banks.
‘Particularly at this time, as we face winter and the incredible levels of need that we know the food banks will need to meet.
‘It really makes a difference and hopefully it will encourage others to support us if they can, and to play a part.
‘We’re certainly hoping that it helps encourage people to learn a bit more about us and get involved if they can.’
‘We are extremely grateful to Taylor Swift for her generous donation to Trussell. We are delighted that she has chosen to support the work of food banks.
