In the wake of the devastating wildfires ravaging Los Angeles, Taylor Swift has broken her silence to show support for those affected. The Grammy-winning artist, 35, has pledged substantial donations to a range of relief organisations working tirelessly to aid communities impacted by the flames.

Swift’s generosity includes cheques to well-known groups such as the Greater Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, and 211 LA, among others.
