A tornado ripped through parts of Nashville early Tuesday morning (March 3), leaving at least 25 people dead in four counties and countless more with damaged property, according to the Tennessean.
In response to the tragedy, Kacey Musgraves is doing what she can to help by selling her stage clothes on celebrity-clothing seller Stage to Closet. She originally partnered with the company to raise money for Tennessee urban forest preservation, but the songstress announced on Tuesday that the proceeds from the sales will benefit tornado relief efforts.
“Heartbroken for East Nashville. I lived on this side of town (in this neighborhood until recently) for years. Many friends are severely affected. Thankful to be ok and thinking of those who aren’t,” Musgraves wrote on her Instagram story, noting that while forest preservation is still important, the “tornado relief efforts need help first.”
Earlier in the day, Musgraves confirmed to fans that she is safe following the storm. “Me and my fam are safe but many friends aren’t so lucky,” she wrote. “We did live right in one of the worst hit spots a matter of months ago. It’s so crazy. I’m so nervous to find out who the fatalities are. Nashville is so tight knit. I’m gonna help in any way I can.”
