Sending you my love and prayers.’  Taylor left a message to encourage her fans to donate too.  She wrote on her Instagram story: ‘Nashville is my home and the fact that so many people have lost their homes and so much more in Middle Tennessee is devastating to me.’  Taylor joins some of the US’ biggest country stars who are helping the victims.  Chris Young announced that he would be donating $50,000 (£38,600) to the foundation, Lynyrd Skynyrd singer Johnny Van Zant donated $10,000 (£7,700) to relief efforts, and singers directed their fans to various foundations.  24 people – including at least five young children – died when two tornadoes hit the state on Tuesday 3 March.  The storms touched down in four counties and shredded buildings and toppled power lines.  It was the first ‘violent’ tornado in the US National Weather Service Nashville’s forecast area since April 10, 2009.
