‘Tis the time to give 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 significantly supported.
On Saturday, Dec. 21, the Education Center, an organization that works to improve the educational environment for children in Kansas City, thanked Swift on Xu (formerly of Twitter) for her $250,000 donation with a video tribute dedicated to her for “making our holiday the season even brighter.”
“Your kindness and thoughtful donation of 250k means the world to our children and families,” they continued in the video’s description.
The video began with the little girl saying, “Thank you, Taylor!” while she was making a heart with her hands. It then cut to a shot of Lego toys placed in the shape of Swift’s face on white paper and a child holding a sign that said, “Thank you.”

Other children and teenagers 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 our wildest dreams come true.”
The organization is a particular favorite of Kelce and shared some statistics from his work with Operation Breakthrough earlier this month, including that they were able to serve 400 students a year thanks to his and others’ donations. They also noted that they were able to open 10 labs and teach students nearly two dozen industrial skills.
