Taylor Swift generously donated $4 million to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum last year, to fund a new area of the museum, which will be appropriately called the Taylor Swift Education Center. The songstress recently revealed why it was important for her to make such a sizable contribution.

"I learned all about country music through what I saw on TV and the research that I did," Taylor explains. "I didn't really know that there was a museum you could go to, to see all these different outfits from all these legends. I didn't know that you could go to a place and see it all in person. So, it's gonna be amazing, I think, for kids to get to have a place where they can go and learn what they possibly can."
