Taylor Swift makes a $1M donation to the victims of the devastating tornadoes that killed 24 people in parts of Nashville and central Tennessee.
Swift, 30, announced her philanthropic contribution to the Middle Tennessee Emergency Response Fund on her Instagram account and encouraged fans to do the same. The carnage in Tennessee marked the most deadly tornado event in the United States since 23 people were killed in Lee County, Alabama, exactly one year earlier,"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," Swift said on Instagram.
Though Swift didn't announce how much she donated, her publicist Tree Paine confirmed to NBC News that the pop singer donated $1 million.
