Taylor Swift Donates $250,000 To Alabama Charity

Taylor Swift, who previously donated almost $1 million from her ‘Speak Now ... Help Now!’ dress rehearsal concert to benefit Alabama tornado victims following April’s deadly storms, has offered another large check, this time to a Tuscaloosa-based organization. Swift gave $250,000 to benefit Nick’s Kids, which has already donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to recovery efforts. Taylor, who donated $500,000 to aid in Music City’s recovery efforts, also gave generously to Japan, New Zealand and Australia in recent months. She is currently in the middle of the North American leg of her “Speak Now World” tour.
