BATON ROUGE, LA. Crossover pop icon Taylor Swift has donated $1 million to help Louisiana flooding victims, who have been suffering from Hurricane Katrina-like flooding in the states capital of Baton Rouge and neighboring parishes.
We began The 1989 World Tour in Louisiana, and the wonderful fans there made us feel completely at home, Swift told CNN in a statement. The fact that so many people in Louisiana have been forced out of their own homes this week is heartbreaking. I encourage those who can to help out and send your love and prayers their way during this devastating time.
More than 20,000 Louisiana residents have been rescued and thus displaced from the unprecedented flooding, leaving at least 11 people killed in the process.

Good on you, sister.
Good on her! :)
“George Clooney? Sean Penn? Brad Pitt? Matt Damon? All Male Hollywood Prima Donnas? Please pick up the White Courtesy Phone in the Lobby! You’re being shown up...by a girl!”
So waiting for matching donation from the Clinton Foundation. Yeah right. Trump should bring this up.
I just read article Obama got a briefing and then went back out to golf- no change in travel plans to visit Louisianna. Crickets from media with Obama’s disinterest in this tragedy.
Oh you’ve got to be kidding- they need that money to give to Hillary for another fund-raiser.
LOL! The Clinton Foundation doesn't donate money! They donate influence! Well, they don't really "donate" that either.
PLEASE Swift dont mention any politics so I can keep respecting you. HATING your music but STILL respecting you.
HOORAY Taylor Swift
Yo, Taylor, Im really happy for you. Imma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best donations of all time.
Very generous! Don’t know too much about her, not familiar with her music, but she does seem to be a genuinely nice person.
Is that a picture of Beauty and the Beast?
Nicely done, Taylor.
She also donated about 500k for Hendersonville when
we had the big Nashville flood.
She went to high school there a coupla yrs after moving
here.
This is a great example for all of the current mega-rich “entertainers.” Good for her. She should challenge (by name) others in the same circle to do the same thing. They should all step up.
This young woman has class and an appreciation of her fans that is heartening.
Taylor
I applaud you. You are a very kind person. As a life long Louisiana resident I say thanks.
