Contributing to the support for areas in Tennessee devastated by tornadoes, Taylor Swift has donated $1 million along with other renowned American artists.
Just within two days of expressing her concerns about the tragic events on Twitter, the singer made the generous donation to the Middle Tennessee Emergency Response Fund, a fund that assists the affected communities, according to spokesperson Tree Paine’s confirmation to CNN.
In an Instagram post on Thursday, Swift expressed her deep connection to Nashville and the heartache caused by the widespread loss in Middle Tennessee, urging her fans to also contribute for the relief efforts.
The recent occurrence of two tornadoes in central Tennessee led to the loss of at least 24 lives and the destruction of numerous buildings.
Joining in the efforts to provide aid for the Tennessee tornado relief, other artists like Chris Young, who pledged $50,000, and Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Johnny Van Zant, who contributed $10,000, have also stepped forward. Many other well-known figures have directed their followers to different relief organizations and initiatives for support.
