Taylor Swift and Jelly Roll Meet While Visiting Texas Hill Country Flood Zones, Bolster Relief with $51M in Donations

KERRVILLE, TX – In a heartwarming convergence of music and compassion, pop superstar Taylor Swift and country rap sensation Jelly Roll crossed paths while visiting the flood-ravaged Texas Hill Country, where they lent their support to communities reeling from devastating floods that claimed over 100 lives. The two artists, who together donated a staggering $51 million to relief efforts, were seen engaging directly with survivors and volunteers, offering hope amidst the heartbreak of the disaster.

The catastrophic flooding, which struck Central Texas over the Fourth of July weekend, left a trail of destruction across Kerr County and surrounding areas, with the Guadalupe River rising over 20 feet in just hours, prompting mandatory evacuations and rescue operations. The death toll, reported at 104 by Monday evening, included at least 28 children, with many still missing, particularly from Camp Mystic, a Christian girls’ camp in Kerrville that lost 27 campers and counselors.

Swift was spotted visiting shelters and reunification centers in Kerrville, where she spent time comforting families and posing for photos with young survivors, some of whom clutched her signature friendship bracelets. “It’s heartbreaking to see so many families suffering,” Swift shared in a statement on her Instagram Stories. “I’m here to support in any way I can, and I encourage others to donate or volunteer to help these communities rebuild.”

Jelly Roll, born Jason DeFord, made an even larger financial commitment, donating an unprecedented $50 million to the Texas Relief & Youth Recovery Fund, aimed at supporting flood survivors, particularly the youth affected by the tragedy at Camp Mystic and other summer camps. Eschewing publicity, Jelly Roll arrived in Kerrville wearing a plain T-shirt and work boots, loading trucks with water, food, and blankets alongside local volunteers. “He didn’t come for the cameras,” said Sarah Martinez, a Kerrville resident and volunteer coordinator with the Salvation Army. “He was
