Taylor Swift makes 'thoughtful' $250K donation to families in need before attending Chiefs vs. Texans game

Taylor Swift made a very generous donation to Operation Breakthrough before arriving to Arrowhead Stadium to cheer on her boyfriend Travis Kelce on Saturday.

Hours before making her way to watch the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Houston Texans, the pop star, 35, received praised for making a $250,000 contribution to the non-profit, which provides education and aid to children and families in poverty. 

Operation Breakthrough, which has provided a safe and loving environment to Kansas City families since 1971, shared a heartwarming video on social media featuring of the children her donation went to supporting. 

‘Thank you, @taylorswift13, for making our holiday season shine even brighter! Your kindness and thoughtful 250K donation means the world to our children and families,’ the organization wrote in posts on Instagram and Twitter.

In the footage, a number of kids and teenagers thanked Swift for her support and raved that that they all ‘love’ her.

Over the past year, Swift’s charitable acts have also included donating to numerous food banks across the country, visiting patients at Children’s Mercy Hospital last week and giving out $197 million in bonuses to everyone working on her Eras Tour.

This marks first Chiefs game since wrapping her 21-month Eras Tour in Vancouver on December 8. 

In recent weeks, the couple have been at the center of engagement rumors after he threw her a surprise wrap party with all her closest friends and family. 

While showing her support for Kelce at his latest game, Swift rocked a $512 fluffy red jacket from Charlotte Simone, a fuzzy bucket hat, black boots and plaid tights.

She was joined by her mom Andrea and dad Scott.

Earlier this week, pictured emerged from the surprise party that Kelce threw for Swift to celebrate the end of her marathon tour. 

While it was not her birthday party, it was believed to be held on December 13, the day she was born. 

For her 35th birthday, Kelce is rumored to have ‘showered’ Swift with gifts and ‘countless roses.’ 

A source told Page Six that Travis ‘hired a private chef and bartender to cook and make cocktails for them. He had his gifts delivered beforehand so they would be a surprise.’ The athlete also ‘had jewelry engraved especially for Taylor.’ 

After friends of the pair shared photos from Swift’s wrap party, eagle-eyed Swifties spotted a strange detail in some of the pictures as she appeared to be covering her ring finger with her little finger in a snap with Brittany Mahomes and Lyndsay Bell.

Several photos showed Swift sipping on a cocktail, and one fan who goes by @lizpwoods on Instagram, pointed out that the singer’s left ring finger looked ‘blurred’ in one shot.

This sparked a wild theory that Swift may have purposely ‘edited out’ an engagement ring as not to reveal news that Kelce had finally popped the question.

Swift did not appear to be wearing a ring in the pictures shared by Ross Travis, who attended the party and was formerly a teammate of Kelce’s.

One of the images showed Travis and Taylor looking suave while Ross is singing into a microphone. He captioned the picture on his Instagram story: ‘Eras complete, congrats Tay!’

The other shows Taylor herself dancing with the microphone in her hand with Kelce stood close to her.

The football player sweetly presented Swift with a black fedora, similar to the ones that she gave away to one lucky fan during her Red set on each tour stop. 

The Cruel Summer hitmaker looked touched by the gesture as she smiled and looked adoringly at him while he placed the hat on top her head.

Kelce made sure to include every detail possible at the bash, from friendship bracelets and light-up concert to green velvet capes, available for guests to slip on and dance in, like the one she performed in during her Evermore era set.
