Taylor Swift Donates to L.A. Wildfire Relief After ‘So Much Suffering, Loss & Destruction’


Taylor Swift is speaking out about the crisis in Los Angeles County as catastrophic wildfires continue to devastate the area.


On Swift’s Instagram Stories on Thursday (Jan. 16), the 35-year-old pop star began by acknowledging, “The fires in California have devastated so many families, and it’s been heartbreaking to see these stories unfold.”

“So much suffering, loss and destruction,” Swift continued.


The 14-time Grammy winner went on to commend the numerous charitable causes that have emerged in the wake of the disaster, which has left tens of thousands of California residents displaced and destroyed countless structures in the area. “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 added. “These are the organizations I’ve donated to. If you feel compelled or able to donate, please do.”


Included in the list of Swift’s chosen organizations are 211 LA, California Community Foundation Fund, Direct Relief, Greater Los Angeles Education Foundation, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, Los Angeles Unified School District Education Foundation Emergency Relief Fund, MusiCares and Pasadena Educational Foundation Eaton Fire Response Fund.


The California wildfires first broke out Jan. 7 in Pacific Palisades, rapidly spreading through L.A. faster than first responders could subdue the flames. More blazes later broke out in other areas of the city, with CNN reporting that at least 25 people have died so far in the destruction.


For as many organizations as Swift listed in her post, they are only a few of the numerous charitable efforts that have been launched in the area in the past week or so. ASCAP, Guitar Center Music Foundation, the Recording Academy and more music industry organizations have busied themselves with the creation of emergency funds and resources for those affected, while Beyoncé’s BeyGood Foundation, Sony Music Group, Warner Music Group and more have made sizable donations to the cause. Plus, Live Nation, AEG and the Azoff Company are planning a FireAid benefit concert at the Intuit Dome on Jan. 30, unveiling a lineup led by Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Jelly Roll, Gwen Stefani and more stars Thursday.
