Taylor Swift Puts Her Money Where Her Heart Is

Country cutie donates $500,000 to Nashville flood disaster relief

Taylor Swift wasn't just giving lip service earlier this week when she expressed her prayers for the folks in Tennessee.

She really is concerned about the flood victims down south, to the tune of half a million dollars, E! News confirms.

The country cutie announced her donation to various relief organizations during a special remote appearance on Thursday night's Flood Relief With Vince Gill and Friends, a telethon held on Nashville's WSMV.

"Please keep Nashville in your heart," she tweeted on Wednesday. "Seeing a picture of the Grande Ole Opry halfway underwater was a kind of heartbreak I can't describe."

Swift, 20, moved to the country music capital when she was 14. She was lucky—her family's homes suffered no damage due to the storm.

Clean-up and repair in the three southern states hit by the flood is estimated to top $1 billion.
