Taylor told Access Hollywood about a rehearsal benefit show to drum up money for victims who were impacted by the recent wrath of Mother Nature. "It was so wonderful," she said. “It was almost like playing our first show because were playing for 13,000 people and it’s the whole show the way we would do the last dress rehearsal and I’m just so excited that we got to raise $750,000 dollars for the victims of the tornadoes."
