Taylor Swift – along with a number of other notable stars and celebs – has shown incredible generosity in providing half a million dollars towards the relief efforts in Nashville. The total raised by a CNN-commissioned telethon was a staggering $1.7 million. This just goes to show just how generous these celebrities – together worth several billions can be. $1.7m will no doubt help to cause a small dent in the horrific damage caused by the flood.

If I sound a little tongue-in-cheek when discussing this ‘generosity’, then forgive me. I do actually applaud these stars for at least making some effort in giving back in times of need, but there just isn’t enough of it. $1.7m is small change even in this localized disaster. When it comes to bigger national disasters like Haiti, it wouldn’t even register. Sad but true.

The telethon was a cog in a wheel of events and benefits across the city. Clearly musicians feel something of an affinity with Nashville, the home of country music.

Other stars that helped out include: Michelle Branch, Holly Williams, Keith Urban, Amy Grant, Ke$ha and Tim McGraw. Well done guys, seriously. Just try to dig a little deeper for the things that matter.
