Taylor Swift's donation to a food bank in Cardiff has provided emergency food parcels to 925 people.

The charity said the US artist's donation allowed them to buy one and a half articulated lorries full of food.

Swift donated to the charity after she performed in Cardiff earlier in June, carrying on her tradition of donating to food banks on her Eras Tour stops.

Rachel Biggs, the CEO of Cardiff Foodbank, said they are incredibly grateful to the singer "for shining a light on the global issue of poverty".

Ms Biggs said while the artist’s donation had already been spent, the demand on the charity was still growing.

“More and more people are needing to turn to us with an increasing number of people needing our support for the first time,” she said.

She added that this year the charity purchased more than double the amount of food compared with last year.

At the time, Cardiff Foodbank thanked Swift on social media, saying the donation was "beyond [their] Wildest Dreams".

The charity agreed with Taylor's team not to discuss the "generous" amount donated, but said "that will make a huge difference".

Ms Biggs said the singer's team passed on her "personal thanks to everyone working at Cardiff Foodbank for what they do."

The record-breaking singer took to the Principality Stadium stage on 18 June, wowing fans with her Eras Tour setlist for more than three hours.
