Taylor Swift donated incredible gift to people of Liverpool without telling anyone

Taylor performed three shows at Anfield as part of her Eras tour

Taylor Swift has just come off the back of three performances in Liverpool and has clearly left a mark on the city.

It feels like the singer's Eras Tour has been going on for years, having kicked things off in Glendale, Arizona, in March 2023.

She's since crossed the US, Asia, South America and is now conquering Europe.

Just this month, the 34-year-old has played three sold-out shows in Edinburgh, three in Liverpool and one in Cardiff.

Swift is now set to play three nights at Wembley Stadium, London, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, before heading to Dublin.

And she's even coming back to London for five more shows in August.

Estimates suggest that her tour dates in the UK capital alone have boosted the London economy by £300 million, with nearly 640,000 people expected to attend the eight dates.

However, it seems that the people of Liverpool are more grateful for Swift's services.

The pop star has made a 'generous donation' to the St Andrew's Community Network, which operates 11 food-banks and eight community food pantries in the city.

As reported by the Liverpool Echo, Charlotte, a fundraiser for the network, said: "We can't thank Taylor enough.

"So many people are struggling at the moment and need for all our services has sadly increased over the last few years, so to have someone like Taylor supporting our endeavours and choosing to help people in crisis in Liverpool means so much and will make a massive difference.

"The charity aids approximately 36,000 individuals annually through their network of food-banks and community food spaces, and hundreds more via debt and welfare benefits advice, with the aim of liberating people from poverty."

On Thursday (20 June), her London fans were already queuing for the singer's opening show at Wembley.

Brian Wood, 56, was queuing up with his 16-year-old daughter, Caitlin, as the pair are planning to attend all three shows.

The corporate tax lawyer from Philadelphia has been in a camping chair since Thursday morning.

He told the PA news agency: “My daughter is a big Taylor Swift fan. I’m holding the spot for her – that’s what dads do.

“I’m getting some sleep, not a lot. I’ve got a sleeping bag in my tent.

“If you’re up front, the artist is right there. For us it’s worth the time and the hassle.

“The payoff comes when you’re inside the arena.”

LADbible has contacted a representative of Taylor Swift for comment.
