Taylor Swift Gives Back to Tornado Victims [VIDEO]

TAYLOR SWIFT is opening up the final dress rehearsal for her upcoming Speak Now tour to fans, as a fundraiser for the victims of last week's tornadoes in the Southeastern part of the U.S. Thirteen thousand Taylor fans will be able to purchase tickets to the rehearsal, which takes place May 21st at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena. Taylor's been rehearsing there for five weeks. The tour itself kicks off May 27th in Nebraska.

In a statement, Taylor said, "I wanted to do something for the families affected by the damage. 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." She added, "We’ll probably still be doing some fine-tuning to the show that night, since this will be a true rehearsal, but I feel like it is so important for me and my fans to help if we can.”

Ticketing information for the event, called Speak Now...Help Now, will be released Monday. 100% of the proceeds will go directly to help the victims.
