Tons of celebs have already given time and money to support Nashville after the city was devastated by flood waters last week. Taylor Swift donated $500,000 towards the relief effort, and she's now one of the big names who will be participating in "Nashville Rising: A Benefit Concert For Flood Recovery."
The benefit concert is being organized by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill and will be held on June 22 at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena, one of the venues that was hit when the Cumberland River overflowed. In addition to Taylor, celebs participating include Miley Cyrus, Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean, Brooks & Dunn, Miranda Lambert, Luke Bryan, Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, LeAnn Rimes, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Martina McBride.
"Please keep Nashville in your heart," Taylor tweeted. "Seeing a picture of the Grande Ole Opry halfway underwater was a kind of heartbreak I can't describe."
Tickets for Nashville Rising go on sale this Friday, May 14, at 10 am EST, and more acts are expected to be announced at a later date.
