Pop superstar Taylor Swift has made a generous donation to a Dublin-based charity following her three sold-out gigs at the Aviva Stadium.

As the 34-year-old Bad Blood singer has taken her record-breaking Eras Tour across Europe this summer, Swift has continued her trend of donating to food banks along the way.

The pop icon has been making donations to food banks in every city that she’s performed in, which has already made a huge impact for the recipients.

Following her gig at the Principality Stadium in Wales last month, Swift made the biggest individual donation the Cardiff Foodbank has ever received, while charities based in Edinburgh, Liverpool and London have all received generous financial support from the Love Story star.

Now it has been revealed that Swift made a similar donation to an Irish charity following her three gigs at the Aviva Stadium last weekend, with the Irish Mail on Sunday reporting that the singer gave €25,000 to a food bank in Dublin.

The name of the charity that received the generous donation has not been disclosed as charities are generally not permitted to release any details about their donors if they ask to remain private.

The Dublin-based charity weren’t the only ones to benefit from Swift’s recent visit to Ireland, with the singer’s three Dublin gigs creating a huge surge in spending in the capital, according to a new survey.

The latest Bank of Ireland Spending Pulse, which analyses debit and credit card spending, has revealed the economic impact of Taylor Swift’s three-day run of concerts in Dublin last weekend.

Analysing June 27-30 card spend compared with the weekend before, Bank of Ireland said that spending among 13 to 17-year-olds soared by 63 per cent, while outlay amongst 18 to 25-year-olds spiked by 25 per cent and by 30 per cent amongst the 26 to 35 cohort.

Beauty spa spending was up 34 per cent as ‘Swifties’ got ready for their big night out, while spending on Spotify streams increased by 20 per cent, and record stores recorded a 19 per cent spending boost.

Meanwhile, total social spending across Dublin in pubs, restaurants and fast food rose 13 per cent compared to the previous weekend.
