Taylor Swift is on the road again, and she's giving back to the communities she visits along the way.
The singer has been donating to food banks in the places where she's stopping on her Eras Tour, according to People. Terri Shoemaker of the Arizona Food Bank Network told AZ Central that Swift made what the outlet described as a "generous donation" when she came to Glendale, Arizona.
"It's not every day that you get a call from someone who works in PR for Taylor Swift, so we were dubious at first, but happily, it turned out to be absolutely real," Shoemaker told AZ Central, explaining that this PR agent said that Swift plans to give back to the communities where she's touring.
