Taylor Swift Donates $1M to Tornado Relief in Tennessee
The donation will support recovery efforts in communities devastated by recent tornadoes, including her hometown of Hendersonville.
- Taylor Swift has donated $1 million to the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee's Tennessee Emergency Response Fund, aiding the recovery efforts in areas devastated by recent tornadoes.
- The storms, which occurred last Saturday, resulted in at least six confirmed deaths, over 60 injuries, and extensive damage to hundreds of homes and buildings.
- Swift, who was raised in Hendersonville, Tennessee, one of the hard-hit areas, has a history of philanthropy, including a similar donation to the same fund in 2020 following another series of tornadoes.
- The fund provides a range of services to those affected, including financial assistance, food, temporary housing, debris clean-up, and animal sheltering.
- The donation comes amidst Swift's ongoing record-breaking Eras Tour, during which she has also made substantial contributions to food banks in the cities she performs.
