Taylor Swift donates $100k to Nashville Symphony

Singer Taylor Swift has made a donation of $100,000 to the Nashville Symphony Orchestra.

Swift, who has been a Nashville resident since her teenage years, made the donation last Friday, which was also her 24th birthday.

The Nashville Symphony has been going through a debt restructuring programme to try and alleviate the financial strains it is currently under.

The singer-songwriter, famous for her hits 'Trouble' and 'Love Story', is also a member of the Nashville Musicians Association.

Fellow singer-songwriter Ben Folds took to Twitter to commend the singer:

So for @taylorswift13 's birthday, she gave Nashville Symphony & Schermerhorn Center a generous donation. Thanks for supporting us and Swift
