Taylor Swift is lending a hand to those in need.

The Reputation artist, 33, has donated $1 million to the Tennessee Emergency Response Fund at the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, USA Today reported Monday.

This comes after devastating storms ripped through multiple counties in the area, leaving at least six people dead, including two children. Nashville’s WZTV reported 13 tornadoes touching down in Tennessee on Saturday, citing the Storm Prediction Center.

Hal Cato, CEO of the community foundation, confirmed Swift’s contribution, The Tennessean said. Donations help residents who have been impacted by the natural disaster with financial assistance, food, temporary housing, debris clean-up, and animal sheltering.

 

 

In addition to the multiple deaths, CNN reported that over 50 people were injured, buildings were structurally damaged, and power outages have affected those living in the area.

“This is devastating news and our hearts are broken for the families of those who lost loved ones,” Clarksville Mayor Joe Pitts said in a statement shared on Facebook. “The City stands ready to help them in their time of grief.”

Swift also donated $1 million to the Middle Tennessee Emergency Response Fund in March 2020 after deadly tornadoes once again ravaged the state that the Pennsylvania native considers home.

“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,” the “Lover” singer said on her Instagram Story at the time.

 

She also included a link to the donation site for others who were interested in following suit.

During a two-night stop for performances at Detroit’s Ford Field in June, the “Blank Space” artist donated to Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan.

After sharing Swift’s message, “No matter what happens in life, be good to people,” the food bank added one of their own.

“These words ring true today with Taylor’s surprise donation to Gleaners during her #TSTheErasTour stop in #Detroit,” the social media post continued. “Thank you for making an impact & empowering kids and families with nutritious food!”

“Taylor Swift’s support of food banks across the country comes at such a critical time for so many emergency food providers — when resources are down, and need is up,” Kristin Sokul, a representative for Gleaners, told the Detroit Free Press at the time.

Continuing to praise her “generosity,” Sokul added, “The space in her heart will empower households across Southeast Michigan to live happier, healthier lives and elevate the important issue of food security so others who have the ability to help can be inspired by her example. The entire Gleaners team is so grateful for this incredible gift.”
