One area not mentioned so far is the benefit concert. George Harrison forever changed rock culture by coming up with the idea for the Concert for Bangladesh. It has become commonplace for rock entertainers to participate in benefit performances but I'm not aware of rock entertainers initiating concerts prior to this concert. Of course this concert was after the Beatles broke up so it was a George thing and not a Beatles thing.

Taylor Swift? I'm not aware of any charitable causes she supports.

Her main interest is in issues around world hunger. She makes donations to food banks in every city the Eras tour goes to. Billboard did a timeline on her philanthropy.

But point taken. To my knowledge, Taylor Swift has never organized a charity concert. She just reaches into her pocket and gives. But you're right, if she organized a concert of stars, she could do a lot more. I hope she does someday.
