Taylor Swift Gifts $100,000 To Dolly Parton's Wildfires Recovery Fund

 The Shake It Off hit maker has embraced the season of giving by teaming up with officials at the Academy of Country Music (ACM) to match their $100,000 gift to Dolly’s My People Fund, which the country queen established last week after wildfires swept across her native Sevier County.

The My People Fund aims to provide monthly donations of $1,000 (£790) to families who lost their homes in the tragedy.
“The Academy and ACM Lifting Lives are honored to contribute in a meaningful way to Dolly’s heroic efforts to help the people of her hometown – and when Taylor heard what we were planning, she offered to match our gift, which gives it that much more impact,” reads a statement issued by Academy Executive Vice President and Managing Director Tiffany Moon.
“We are so grateful to Taylor for her support to the Academy’s charitable efforts through the years, and for helping us and Dolly Parton assist families in need at a time of crisis.”
