Taylor Swift donates funds to flood relief

Taylor Swift has donated $500,000 (£341,318) to flood relief efforts in Nashville, TN.

Recent floods in the South have killed 30 people, including 20 in Tennessee.

According to The AP, repairs in the city are expected to cost more than $1m (£682,636).

"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.

She added: "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."
