Taylor Swift Donates $500K for Nashville Flood Relief

Taylor Swift has acted swiftly on behalf of those affected by the flood, which damaged thousands of homes and left musical landmarks like the Grand Ole Opry House under water.

Swift has just donated $500,000 to the city’s flood relief.

"Being at home during the storm, I honestly could not believe what was happening to the city and the people I love so dearly," Swift said in an e-mail to the Associated Press.

"Nashville is my home, and the reason why I get to do what I love. I have always been proud to be a Nashvillian, but especially now, seeing the love that runs through this city when there are people in crisis."

Restoring areas devastated by the flood will cost more than $1 billion.
