And I said to her, 'Are you worried about keeping your voice? ' And she went: 'No, I write songs that are easy to sing'," Graham recalled.

Kyle concurred with Graham's views and expressed his fondness for the superstar. "She always has been super sweet.

The donation will go directly to food banks in the Trussell community through the charity’s emergency grants programme, which supports food banks who need it most. Speaking about the donation, Sophie Carre, Director of Public Engagement at Trussell said: "We are extremely grateful to Taylor Swift for her generous donation to Trussell. We are delighted that she has chosen to support the work of food banks and this, alongside the other donations she has made directly to food banks across the country, will help people facing hunger and hardship during their toughest moments, while working towards a more just future where everyone can afford the essentials

"Taylor has put a spotlight on the need for emergency food at a time when our food banks in the Trussell network are providing more support to people facing hardship than ever before. We believe it’s not right that anyone needs to use a food bank and while we work together to right this wrong, this donation will go a long way in supporting the vital work of food banks to help people facing hunger.

"Our vision is for a future without the need for food banks, where everyone has enough money to afford the essentials. We all have a role to play in achieving this and we're extremely grateful to donors like Taylor Swift, who make it possible for us to do the work required to end the need for food banks together."
