Paisley and his wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, founded The Store in 2020, providing free groceries to people in need.
“At The Store, we’re bringing together a dedicated community of support working to combat food insecurity in Middle Tennessee with empathy, dignity, and respect,” reads a description on The Store’s website. “Founded by Brad Paisley and Kimberly Williams-Paisley, The Store transcends traditional food aid, offering comprehensive solutions to hunger and poverty.”
Paisley-Williams reshared The Store’s Instagram post to her own Instagram Story and wrote, “@taylorswift we appreciate your support of @thestore_nashville!!”
Swift, 36, is well-known for her generous end-of-year donations to charities and nonprofit organizations.

In December 2025, the “Fate of Ophelia” singer donated $1 million to Feeding America and the American Heart Association, respectively.
“We are incredibly grateful for Taylor Swift’s $1 million gift to Feeding America,” Feeding America CEO Claire Babineaux-Fontenot said in a press release last month. “This holiday season, her continued support is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we unite to end hunger. When we join together alongside people facing hunger, we can make sure families have a full table this holiday season and beyond.”
That same month, the American Heart Association announced it had received a $1 million donation from the singer in honor of her father, Scott Swift, who underwent quintuple bypass surgery in the summer of 2025.
In a press release, the American Heart Association said Swift’s donation would “advance ongoing scientific research, stronger prevention and treatment efforts, and expanded access to life‑saving care for every community.”
Taylor Swift’s Close Relationship With Her Dad Scott Swift Through the Years
“Taylor Swift’s remarkable generosity will create lasting change far beyond its financial value,” said Nancy Brown, chief executive officer of the American Heart Association. “Her family’s experience with cardiovascular disease is all too common, affecting nearly half of American adults. Her commitment to supporting her father will make so many others aware of the need to take their own heart health seriously, strengthen prevention efforts, and improve controllable risk factors — ultimately helping more people live longer, healthier lives.”
In October, Swift gave an update on Scott’s health after he underwent surgery in July.
“By his own accord, he’s actually at 150 percent now. So he’s definitely got too much energy. He’s doing amazing. I’m so happy,” she said during an appearance on SiriusXM’s “Morning Mash Up.”
She added, “To contextualize this, my dad had a quintuple bypass surgery over the summer.”
Swift continued, “The biggest part of our summer was, as a family, just taking care of him and getting him back to his old self. He had amazing medical care and help. The doctors and nurses that I’m going to be forever grateful for. It recontextualizes to you what matters, honestly. It really does. Thank you for mentioning that because it reminds me how lucky I am that he pulled through.”
