Taylor Swift Plans Benefit for Tornado Victims


Taylor Swift is aiming to assist Alabama.

The singer will raise money for victims of recent tornadoes in that area by holding a dress rehearsal on May 21 in Nashville.

Over 13,000 tickets to the special performance will go on sale, with proceeds going to those in need.

"I was watching the coverage of the tornadoes backstage at rehearsals, and wanted to do something for the families affected by the damage," Swift writes on her website.

"I've never opened a rehearsal to the public before, but I felt that inviting my fans to the last rehearsal for the Speak Now tour would be a great way to raise money."

Hundreds were killed when a natural disaster struck Alabama April 27. Charlie Sheen has actually visited Tuscaloosa and also set up a charity to benefit the region.

As for Swift's Speak Now Tour, it kicks off in Omaha on May 27.
