Kudos to Taylor Swift for Country Music Hall of Fame donation

Mike Sudhalter  |  May 23, 2012

Taylor Swift cares about Country Music and its future. Often times, she gets criticized for straying too far from what would be considered Country Music. She's drawn new fans into the genre and build a bridge for them to listen to artists they may not have heard otherwise.

Swift donated $4 million to the Country Music Hall of Fame for its Children's Education Center.

Swift wants to be involved in the project as an advisor, and she'll continue to bring millions of fans into a genre that she helped popularize in recent years.
