As communities face the impact of the Los Angeles wildfires, Grammy-award winning artist Taylor Swift has donated to 10 organizations providing crucial relief to those affected by the crisis. 

In a recent Instagram story shared with her followers, the “Eras tour” performer encouraged other people to contribute to the ongoing recovery efforts.

“The fires in California have devastated so many families,” the “Cruel Summer” hitmaker wrote, expressing her deep sorrow over the situation.  “It’s been heartbreaking to see these stories unfold. So much suffering, loss, and destruction.”

Despite the devastation, Swift took a hopeful stance and noted the collective resilience of the communities.

“As so many people embark on some of the most challenging times of their lives, there are also many amazing organizations and groups banding together to help these communities rebuild,” she continued.

While the record-breaking artist and Billboard’s top artist of the 21st century primarily resides in New York City, she also owns a home in Beverly Hills, which has not been impacted by the fires.
