Taylor Swift dipped back into her country roots for her latest charitable act.

Amid “The Life of a Showgirl” singer’s holiday donation spree, she gave a “generous gift” to The Store, Brad Paisley and wife Kimberly Williams-Paisley’s Tennessee-based non-profit.

We’re incredibly grateful to Taylor Swift for including The Store in her year-end giving,” the organization wrote in a Jan. 13 social media post. “Her generous gift helps us continue providing groceries with dignity and choice to families across Middle Tennessee especially as we prepare to open our second location. Thank you, Taylor, for using your voice and generosity to uplift neighbors in need."

Indeed, Brad’s nonprofit provides an entirely free shopping experience in Tennessee, allowing those in need to purchase food and other necessities at no cost. 

Although Taylor has also made donations to Feeding America, the American Heart Association and ACM Lifting Lives in the last month, her donation to Brad’s organization is particularly personal, as the “Whiskey Lullaby” singer had her open for his tour back when she was just 16 after she dropped her debut album. 

“Taylor Swift was one that I called my manager when I heard her album and said, ‘We have to get her out on tour,’” Brad told Entertainment Weekly in 2007. “And for her to have written that record at 16, it’s crazy how good it is. I figured I’d hear it and think, ‘Well, it’s good for 16’—but it’s just flat-out good for any age.”

And Taylor dived right into Brad’s typical antics when she tagged along on his Bonfires & Amplifiers tour, even pulling a prank on the country crooner during his hit “Ticks.”

“I went online and I ordered these giant tick costumes—like big, giant sumo-wrestler-looking tick costumes—and me and Kellie [Pickler] dressed up in them and ran out on stage and started dancing all around him,” Taylor explained to Entertainment Weekly at the time. “And then Jack Ingram, the other opening act, came out in this white exterminator suit halfway through the song, with a sprayer, and proceeded to kill us on stage."
