Taylor Swift has donated $1 million to Tennessee residents who were affected by the deadly tornadoes that devastated communities in the state earlier this week. “The Swifts found their original Tennessee home in Hendersonville and Sumner County and remain deeply committed to its continued well-being,” said Hal Cato, CEO of Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. “Taylor’s incredibly generous gift sends a message to her hometown and the communities around it that she has their backs during the long road to recovery following this devastating event.” Swift’s donation will provide financial assistance, food, temporary housing, debris clean-up, and animal sheltering to residents. Dozens were injured and many buildings destroyed in the tornadoes and thunderstorms over the weekend.
