Taylor Swift Raises $750,000 for Tornado Victims

Doing what she can to help those in need, Taylor Swift took the unprecedented step of opening the last dress rehearsal for her Speak Now Tour for fans as a fundraiser to benefit victims of recent deadly tornadoes in the Southeast.

The sold-out show raised over $750,000 while being held at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday night (May 21).

Talking about the effort, Miss Swift said, ?I?ve never opened a rehearsal to the public before, but I felt that inviting my fans to the last rehearsal for the Speak Now Tour would be a great way to raise money."

Meanwhile, Taylor will get the North American leg of her ?Speak Now? tour underway in Omaha, Nebraska on Friday, May 27th.
