Taylor Swift has caused a stir in Kansas City in recent weeks with her star-studded appearances at Arrowhead Stadium to watch boyfriend Travis Kelce in action, but the pop star was already a local hero.
The Anti-Hero hitmaker, 33, has attended two of the tight end’s NFL games at the Chiefs’ home stadium, sitting alongside his mom Donna in an Arrowhead suite.
But the 12-time Grammy award winner had already put on a show of her own at the stadium and, while Kelce, 34, may have helped bring two Super Bowls to the city, Swift has made her own touching mark on Kansas City.
The singer made a ‘significant contribution’ to a local foodbank over the summer when she visited Kansas City on the US leg of her Eras Tour.
In July, when Swift and her billon-dollar tour pulled into Kansas City, Harvesters Community Food Network shared to social media that the You Belong With Me songstress had made a generous donation.

‘It won’t be a #cruelsummer for thousands of families, children and seniors experiencing food insecurity thanks to a generous donation we received from the award-winning singer,’ the food bank wrote on Facebook at the time.
At the time her donation flew under the radar but following her budding romance with one of the city’s beloved NFL stars, her generosity has resurfaced.

‘We were quite surprised,’ Sarah Biles, director of communications at the food bank, told The Kansas City Star.
The food bank was asked not to reveal the amount of the contribution but Biles revealed that Swift raising awareness for the cause is just as impactful as the donation itself.
‘In total, it’s a significant contribution to hunger relief and it’s so gratifying to see that she’s chosen a cause like this,’ said Biles.
Swift’s contribution to Kansas City was one of many huge sums she dishes out to charities across 20 states during her tour.
As the Eras Tour looks set to become one of the most profitable of all time, projected to rake in $4.1billion, according to TMZ, after Swift took her show on the road and to the movie theatres.
And she seemingly made it her mission to give back as she made donations in all 20 states she traveled to throughout the tour.

The singer asked charities not to reveal the amounts she donated but they appear to be huge sums. Feeding Tampa Bay, a food bank in Florida, said her generosity would provide 125,000 meals.
Another food bank in Seattle wrote: ‘They’ve asked us not to share the number with you, but I can tell you the donation will provide thousands of pounds of fresh fruit and vegetables to our more than 400 food banks across Western Washington.’
In Pittsburgh, a food bank said: ‘Her donation will ensure thousands of our neighbors have the food they need to thrive.’
And Santa Clara food bank in California thanked her for helping them feed the 500,000 people they assist each month, adding that her gift inspired a flurry of contributions from fans, too, with donations jumping by 43 per cent.
Swift – who has a personal fortune estimated at $703 million – has also been generous to those working on the tour, paying out bonuses totaling $55million to performers and crew. And she surprised the trucking staff by giving them each a ‘life-changing’ $100,000.
She also paid more than $110,000 to book 197 rooms for one night at the five-star Four Seasons Hotel in Mexico for her crew.
The Eras tour is due to hit the UK next summer and charities in the cities she plays here will be hoping she continues with her generous donations.
Swift had jetted in from Los Angeles Thursday morning for Chiefs’ game against the Denver Broncos after attending the premiere screening of her Eras Tour movie in Hollywood as her relationship with Kelce continues to grow.
The pop sensation watched her rumored boyfriend, Kelce, 34, for a third time this season.

Swift, who was seen arriving at the stadium ahead of kickoff in exclusive footage captured by Dailymail.com, took her seat next to Donna while wearing a $112 Kansas City windbreaker designed by DWTS alum Erin Andrews.
And as her NFL-star beau inspired the Super Bowl champions to another victory with a typically powerful display, the pop sensation could be seen leaping to her feet and applauding on several occasions.
She appeared on good terms with Donna, despite Kelce’s mom throwing apparent shade at her after they met for the first time at Arrowhead for last month’s win over the Chicago Bears.
The NFL star’s mom appeared to be rocking a Swiftie-style friendship bracelet, which fans had been making to wear at Swift’s Eras Tour concerts, with one reading, ‘Today.’
Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City’s star quarterback Patrick, was sat alongside the pair in their suite and could be seen hugging Swift when their men combined brilliantly on the field.
The pop sensation’s relationship with Kelce appears to be getting serious as she was also spotted chatting with his fad, Ed Kelce, for the first time during the Week 6 matchup.
And, following the Chiefs’ 19-8 win over the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football, the Anti-Hero hitmaker seemed to some spend quality time with the Super Bowl champion.
Swift appeared to spend the night at Kelce’s home as her security team was spotted outside the property Friday morning in DailyMail.com exclusive photos.
The vehicles parked outside the tight end’s property appeared to be the same SUVs that collected the star directly from her private plane and drove her away from the airport on Thursday.

Later into the afternoon, Kelce’s mom, Donna, who had sat along Swift in the Arrowhead suite throughout Thursday’s game, was seen arriving at the mansion.
There were also Kansas City Police officers roaming the area and stopping cars going into the neighborhood where Travis Kelce lives.
The new couple are spending the weekend together with Kelce set to have some time off due to the Chiefs’ early game this week, according to TMZ.
The entourage left the property, which Kelce reportedly purchased for $995,000 in 2019, in the afternoon.
