Taylor Swift Donates $250,000 to Kansas City Educational Center — and Its Kids Thank Her in Cute Video: ‘Means the World’

‘Tis the season for giving back — and Taylor Swift is getting into the spirit!

The “Clara Bow” singer, 35, recently donated a quarter of a million dollars to Operation Breakthrough, which her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, also has prominently supported.

On Saturday, Dec. 21, the educational center, an organization that works to improve children’s educational environments in Kansas City, thanked Swift on X (formerly Twitter) for her $250,000 donation with a tribute video dedicated to her for “making our holiday season shine even brighter.”

“Your kindness and thoughtful 250K donation means the world to our children and families,” they continued in the video’s caption.

The video opened with a little girl saying, “Thank you, Taylor!” while making a heart with her hands. It then cut to a shot of Lego toys being placed in the shape of Swift’s face on a white piece of paper and a child holding a sign that said, “Thank you.” 

Other children and teens thanked the singer throughout the video, including a boy wearing a red Kansas City Chiefs hat who said, “Thank you Taylor, we all love you.” The video ended with one little girl thanking Swift for “making all of our wildest dreams come true.”

The organization is notably a favorite of Kelce’s, and it shared some statistics from his work with Operation Breakthrough earlier this month, including that they were able to serve 400 students annually thanks to donations from him and others. They also noted that they were able to open up 10 labs and teach nearly two dozen industry skills to students.

The 14-time Grammy winner not only supports her boyfriend’s work off the field, but on it as well. Swift was spotted attending the Chiefs game against the Houston Texans on Dec. 21.

Swift made her way through the Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium to support her significant other wearing a long red Charlotte Simone winter coat and black pants, which she paired with a black fur hat.

The game is the first one that she has attended since Nov. 29. Swift recently finished her record-breaking Eras Tour, playing her final show in Vancouver on Dec. 8. 

Following the end of the tour, the Chiefs tight end threw the musician a surprise party to celebrate the success of the tour, which kicked off in March 2023 and visited dozens of cities across the world.

Kelce donned a suit from the Tortured Poets Department skit, while Swift rocked a black dress with silver details. He even gifted her the “22” hat, replicating a much-loved moment from her concerts, in which she would give the hat over to one child at every stop.

Partygoers wore light-up concert bracelets and friendship bracelets that were scattered around tables to coordinate with their Eras Tour-inspired outfits.
