Another day, another charitable donation by Taylor Swift. 
 
 The country music pop princess has vowed to help the victims of the devastating Louisiana floods by donating $1 million to the state’s disaster relief fund. 
 
 
 
 Big-hearted Swift, 26, released a statement to the Associated Press on Tuesday, August 16, revealing how warmly she was greeted by Louisiana residents when she performed there last year. 
 
 “We began the 1989 world tour in Louisiana, and the wonderful fans there made us feel completely at home," she said. "The fact that so many people in Louisiana have been forced out of their own homes this week is heartbreaking.” 
 
 So far 11 people have been killed by the historic flooding, which has damaged at least 40,000 homes. 
 
 
 
 “I encourage those who can to help out and send your love and prayers their way during this devastating time,” Swift added. 
 
 This is far from the first time the singer — who has an estimated worth of $250 million — has dug deep for a good cause. 
 
 Last year she donated $50,000 to a young fan battling cancer, as well as giving the same amount to the nephew of her backup dancer, who was also suffering from the disease. 
 
 In 2014 she donated $50,000 to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and back in 2008 she gave $100,000 to the Red Cross in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to help the victims of that flood too.

 NEW YORK (AP) — 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 on Tuesday that Louisiana residents graciously welcomed her when she kicked off the U.S. dates of her "1989 World Tour" in the state last year. 
 
 "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," the 26-year-old said in a statement. 
 
 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. 
 
 "I encourage those who can to help out and send your love and prayers their way during this devastating time," Swift said. 
 
 Over 30,000 people have been rescued since Friday, with more being brought to safety by the hour.
– Louisiana was good to Taylor Swift and now the singer is giving back in the form of a $1 million donation to help victims of the devastating floods that have killed at least 11 people, reports the AP. The 26-year-old says the donation is a big thank you to her “wonderful fans” in Louisiana “who made us feel completely at home” when Swift kicked off her last world tour there. “The fact that so many people in Louisiana have been forced out of their own homes this week is heartbreaking," she says in a statement, urging "those who can to help out and send your love and prayers their way during this devastating time." The contribution isn’t Swift’s first. Last year the pop idol gave $50,000 each to a young fan battling cancer and an ailing nephew of one of her backup dancers, notes US Weekly. Among others: $50,000 to Philadelphia Children’s Hospital in 2014, and $100,000 to flood relief in Iowa in 2008. (For much more on the scope of the devastating flooding, click here.)
