Meanwhile, Taylor Swift has announced she plans to donate a million dollars toward the recovery effort.
In a statement to CNN, Swift commented that the people of Louisiana gave her a warm welcome last year.
“We began The 1989 World Tour in Louisiana, and the wonderful fans there made us feel completely at home. The fact that so many people in Louisiana have been forced out of their own homes this week is heartbreaking.”
Swift continues, “I encourage those who can to help out and send your love and prayers their way during this devastating time.”
