Taylor Swift crowned 'Tennessean of the Year'

Taylor Swift has been named as Tennessean of the Year by the editors of The Tennessean newspaper.

The editors have claimed that it’s the 24-year-old singer’s philanthropy in Nashville that has landed her the new title, Contactmusic reported.

The ‘Love Story’ hitmakers gifts to the city include a 4 million-dollar contribution to the Country Music Hall of Fame and a 100,000-dollar gift to Nashville Symphony.

Swift had recently said that she would not be the same kind of person without Nashville, as it shaped her into who she is now.
