Taylor Swift donates $5m to Hurricane Milton victims
NEW YORK, 11 Oct. - (ANA) - US superstar Taylor Swift has donated five million dollars (£3.8 million) to help victims “rebuild and recover” in the wake of Hurricane Milton.
The hurricane made landfall on the west coast of Florida late on Wednesday night, amid warnings that the life-threatening storm surge could cause “extreme flooding”.
The “dangerous and destructive” storm comes in the wake of devastation caused by Hurricane Helene just weeks ago.
“We’re incredibly grateful to Taylor Swift for her generous five million dollar donation to Hurricanes Helene and Milton relief efforts,” the chief executive of Feeding America, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, said in a statement on X.
“This contribution will help communities rebuild and recover, providing essential food, clean water, and supplies to people affected by these devastating storms.”
