Her career has essentially just begun, but Taylor Swift holds a special place in her heart for the Country Music Hall of Fame.
One of her earliest performances took place in the plaza, and she even signed her first record deal on site. Now the country super-star has donated $4 million dollars to the institute in Nashville.
The generous donation is the largest charitable gift ever handed over to the site by an artist, and much of the money is being put towards the cretion of the Taylor Swift Education Center, a museum exhibit and classroom complex that is set to open it’s doors in 2014.
Kyle Young, director of the museum tells the AP, “In terms of what it will allow us to do, we do education very well now. It will allow us to do what we do better, serve more people, develop new programs and I’m happy to say that as we talked through this opportunity with Taylor, she very much wants to be involved in an advisory capacity in what we do.”
“Is there a better person out there who’s in touch with a young audience? I think not. I was joking we should be paying her to do that. I was only joking.”
