After tornadoes swept through the south last spring, Taylor turned her tour’s dress rehearsal into a charitable event. Fans flooded the venue, and at the end of the May 21 concert, $750,000 had been raised for relief efforts. Last night her goodwill was honored.
She won the Do Something Concert award at the Do Something Awards in Los Angeles! The award — a metallic winged sneaker — no doubt comes as a distant second to the good the 21-year-old brought to thousands of people across Tennessee and Alabama. It’s the second peculiar trophy she’s picked up in seven days, however. VH1 broadcast the show last night, but the event was actually taped last Sunday. Taylor was in St. Louis for a date on the Speak Now tour and didn’t attend.
