Taylor Swift is donating $1 million to Tennessee tornado relief efforts after parts of the state were destroyed by two tornadoes on Tuesday.
The former Nashville resident took to her Instagram Stories on Thursday to share her support with all those affected by the natural disaster.“Nashville is my home and the fact that so many people have lost their homes and so much more in Middle Tennessee is devastating to me,” Taylor wrote on Instagram Stories. Swift included a link to the Response Fund, encouraging her fans to also donate to the cause.
Other country stars expressing their support include Chris Young, who pledged that he would donate $50,000 to the foundation, Lynyrd Skynyrd singer Johnny Van Zant gave $10,000 to relief efforts, and Kacey Musgraves announced she would donate the proceeds of her performance and daily-wear fashion sale to the cause. Mitchell Tenpenny is hosting a benefit concert at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row bar next Monday featuring Devin Dawson, Hardy, Jessie James Decker and the Band Camino.
Earlier this week, two tornadoes struck parts of Nashville and central Tennessee, killing at least 24 people. At least 150 people were hospitalized in five countries, making it the second-deadliest tornado event in state history.Sign up for Variety’s Newsletter.
