Taylor Swift wants to help the victims of Louisiana’s major flood by donating $1 million to a relief fund.
The 26-year-old pop star feels especially connected to the state after kicking off the U.S. dates of her “1989 World Tour” in Louisiana last year.
The torrential rains have caused major flooding in the state and have killed at least 11 people.
Swift reportedly told The Associated Press on Tuesday, “We began The 1989 World Tour in Louisiana, and the wonderful fans there made us feel completely at home. The fact that so many people in Louisiana have been forced out of their own homes this week is heartbreaking.”
Swift continued, “I encourage those who can to help out and send your love and prayers their way during this devastating time.”
While over 30,000 people have been rescued since Friday, Lady Gaga has similarly lent her support to the victims, tweeting the following.
