Taylor Swift is donating $1 million to Louisiana flood relief after torrential rains caused massive flooding in the state and killed at least 11 people.
Swift told the Associated Press that she love the people of the state because they welcomed her warmly as the tour of her album started.
"We began the 1989 world tour in Louisiana, and the wonderful fans made us feel completely at home. The fact that many people in Louisiana have been forced out their homes this week is heartbreaking," said Swift.
She also encouraged everyone to help.
"I encourage those who can help out and send your love and prayers their way during the devastating time," said Swift.
The flooding is some of the worst in Louisiana history, damaging at least 40,000 homes. More than 60,000 people have registered for disaster aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency after widespread flooding hit the state, according to Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards' office.
