Taylor Swift fans are putting their mobilizing skills to work to support those in need. The Swiftie coalition known as Swifties for Hope on X tweeted out on Friday that fans are encouraged to donate $13 or whatever they can afford to support those affected by the potential cuts of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
Alongside an image with text referencing Swift's "The Life of a Showgirl" song, "Father Figure," the account wrote in a caption, "Swifties, we're fundraising for @FeedingAmerica to help support food banks nationwide. Tomorrow, SNAP benefits will halt and the 42 million Americans who rely on them will need help."

Although the group is not affiliated with Swift's camp, the Swiftie coalition states in its bio that its mission is to "mobilize fans to protect democracy."
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, aids roughly 42 million people and was set to run out of funds on Saturday without intervention. On Friday, a federal judge in Rhode Island ordered the Trump administration to continue paying for food stamps during the federal shutdown "as soon as possible." However, if the department finds the funds are insufficient, other sources must be found and used.
This isn't the first time the Swifites have joined forces in political circles. In 2024, during the presidential campaign for Kamala Harris, Swifties for Kamala raised over $100,000 in donations with a virtual rally that saw a lineup of guest speakers — including Carole King and senator Elizabeth Warren, among others.
