Taylor Swift Donates $10 Million to California Wildfire Relief as Thousands Ordered to Evacuate Amid Canyon Fire Crisis

Los Angeles, CA — Pop superstar Taylor Swift has pledged a staggering $10 million to aid victims of the devastating California wildfires, as emergency crews battle to contain the fast-moving Canyon Fire sweeping through parts of Los Angeles County.

Authorities have issued urgent evacuation orders for thousands of residents in communities near the Santa Monica Mountains and San Fernando Valley after high winds caused the fire to surge overnight. Flames have already scorched thousands of acres, destroying homes, wildlife habitats, and infrastructure.

Swift’s donation, confirmed by her publicist early Sunday morning, will go toward relief efforts coordinated by the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Relief Fund, which provides shelter, food, medical assistance, and rebuilding support to affected families.

“The people of California have always shown me so much love,” Swift said in a statement. “Right now, they need our love and support more than ever. We have to act quickly to help those who have lost so much.”

Fire officials say the Canyon Fire’s rapid spread is being fueled by strong Santa Ana winds and record-high summer temperatures, making firefighting efforts dangerous and unpredictable. More than 2,500 firefighters are on the scene, with air tankers and helicopters dropping water and fire retardant in an attempt to halt the blaze’s advance.

Residents reported frantic scenes as evacuation sirens blared through neighborhoods in the early hours of the morning. Traffic along major routes such as the 101 and 405 freeways slowed to a crawl as families rushed to safety, many with little more than the clothes on their backs.

Swift’s $10 million pledge comes as relief organizations warn that the full recovery from this disaster could take years. Her donation is expected to provide immediate assistance, including emergency shelter and supplies for evacuees, and longer-term support for rebuilding efforts.

This isn’t the first time Swift has stepped in during a time of crisis. Over the years, she has made significant contributions to disaster relief efforts, including support for victims of floods in Tennessee, hurricanes in the Gulf Coast, and previous California wildfires.

California Governor Gavin Newsom praised Swift’s gesture, calling it “an extraordinary act of generosity that will bring real relief to thousands of people facing unimaginable loss.”

As night falls, firefighters continue their uphill battle against the Canyon Fire, which remains only 15% contained. Officials urge residents in at-risk zones to evacuate immediately and stay alert for emergency updates.

For many evacuees, Swift’s donation is a reminder that they are not alone in the fight to rebuild their lives.
