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.
