Stars Shine Bright: Country Musicians Rally for Hurricane Victims

A star-studded benefit concert featuring top country musicians is being organized as part of the relief efforts for those affected by Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton. Taylor Swift donated $5 million to Feeding America, and Dolly Parton contributed $2 million toward aid initiatives in Tennessee.

Country music's brightest stars have come together for a special benefit concert aimed at supporting victims of recent hurricanes, including Hurricane Helene and the oncoming Hurricane Milton. Pop icon Taylor Swift stepped up by donating $5 million to Feeding America, making headlines for her generous support.

Feeding America expressed gratitude for Swift's contribution through a social media message. Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, CEO of the nonprofit, applauded Swift, saying, "Thank you, Taylor, for standing with us in the movement to end hunger and helping communities in need."

The southern U.S. is grappling with the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, while Hurricane Milton continues to threaten Florida with its destructive power. To further aid relief efforts, country musicians like Keith Urban and Luke Combs have organized a "Concert for Carolina" benefiting the hardest-hit areas, scheduled for Oct. 26 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.
