Taylor Swift has donated $5 million to Feeding America to support relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

The nonprofit announced the pop star’s donation Wednesday with a “Thank You” graphic resembling a friendship bracelet, a favorite accessory that Swift’s fans trade at her concerts.

Feeding America is “incredibly grateful” for the donation, CEO Claire Babineaux-Fontenot said in a statement.

“This contribution will help communities rebuild and recover, providing essential food, clean water, and supplies to people affected by these devastating storms,” the statement read. The organization also encouraged fans and supporters to “join Taylor” in contributing to relief efforts.

Swift’s friends, actors Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, also donated $1 million to Feeding America to support the hurricane relief efforts. Babineaux- Fontenot said in a statement that the couple’s “longtime support of Feeding America in times of crisis” has helped provide basic needs for several past natural disasters.

Swift has a long history of donating to nonprofits in the wake of natural disasters or tragic events, and her philanthropic relationship with food banks became a quiet hallmark of her Eras Tour, with the singer donating the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of meals across cities she played in.

Mott to publish another meta novel: Jason Mott’s first novel since “Hell of a Book” is a kind of meta- sequel to his award-winning meta-narrative about a Black author’s haunting promotional tour.

The Penguin Random House imprint Dutton announced Thursday that it has reached a deal with Mott for “People Like Us,” in which a “prize-winning Black author” embarks on a global book tour that finds him experiencing everything from invisibility and time travel to sea monsters and peacocks.

“Hell of a Book,” published in 2021, won the National Book Award for fiction and was chosen for Jenna Bush Hager’s “Today” show book club.

“People Like Us” is scheduled for release next fall.
