Taylor Swift donated for flood relief

Country singer and multi Grammy winner Taylor Swift donated $500,000 as flood relief fund in Nashville. “Tik Tok” hit maker Ke$ha will host a benefit concert in June16 Nashville.

20-years-old “Love Story” singer Taylor Swift says “It was the craziest thing that I’ve ever seen. I was at my house in Hendersonville, we were staring out the window, thinking it didn’t seem like rain. It just seemed like something in a movie. It was really emotional for me because those are the streets I learned to drive on. People’s houses are just ruined. It was so heartbreaking to see that in my town, the place that I call home, and the place that I feel most safe. I just send my love to my friends and neighbours who got hit harder than I did.”

“One hundred percent of the profits from ticket sales will go to help the victims of these devastating floods. Nashville helped shape me as an artist and as a person and my love for this city is beyond words,” Ke$ha says.

Ke$ha and Taylor Swift lives in Nashville. Country singers Keith Urban, Allison Kraussand Durius Rocker also made their donations.

The flood claimed 20 lives in Tennessee. $1 billion or more will cost for repair and cleanup for disaster affected area according to Tennessee daily newspaper Tennessean.

Taylor Swift is ready to pull out her next album. She said in an interview taken by MTV news that the new album is inspired by ‘Boys and Love’. “When I put out an album, I’d like to think that when people listen to that album it’s like a diary of what I’ve been through in the last two years,” she continued to MTV news. “So it’s a really fun way to express how I feel and what I’m going through.”
