Taylor Swift may be experiencing difficulty in the department of love at this moment, but music and charitable efforts are definitely her forte. Over the weekend, Swift raised a whopping $750,000 for U.S. flood relief efforts.
On Saturday May 21st, 2011, Swift held a soundcheck before her show at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena and it was there she charged $50 a person to see her rehearsal.
Swift says, “We had some really scary days a few weeks ago in Nashville. We had tornado warnings and, even scarier, we were at rehearsals and all my dancers and band were getting texts from their relatives. I was just thinking of what we could do to help all the victims of the devastation down there and we were at rehearsals, so I was like, ‘Could we just open up the rehearsal to the public and sell tickets and give it all to… tornado victims in the south?’”
The end result was damn successful. $750,000 dollars was raised! Kudos to Swift and her teardrops on her guitar!
