Taylor Swift is giving back and in a big way.

The singer/songwriter is donating $4 million to the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, TN for a children’s education center. The donation is the largest amount gifted by a musician and the second largest from any individual.

The new wing will include three classrooms and an exhibit space which will bear her name – the Taylor Swift Education Center. The project is expected to be opened and completed in 2014.

“We are deeply indebted to Taylor for this wonderful gift, which will help us continue to fulfill our educational mission and serve our worldwide audience,” museum director Kyle Young said in the press release. “It is not an overstatement to say that the Taylor Swift Education Center will have a profound impact on our museum, our new campus, our city and even our country.”

Swift has been generous with her considerable fortune. She has donated money to help flood victims in Iowa and Tennessee, given money to various schools she’s attended and has helped various causes giving relief to victims of tornadoes in the southeast.

The singer who defined the disco era, Donna Summer has died at age 63 in Florida from cancer.

Summer, who became known as the ‘Queen of Disco’ topped the charts with hits “Last Dance,” “Hot Stuff” and “Bad Girls” before the sex, drug and glittery disco-ball craze died out.

She had a successful album in 1983 and moved away from the synthizied sounds of the 70s with her hit “She Works Hard For The Money.”

Born LaDonna Adrian Gaines in Boston, Massachusetts in 1948; she was one of seven children from her father (a butcher) and her schoolteacher mother.

Summer came to represent the era’s excess and later she became a born-again Christian who spoke out against the “sinful” nature of the music and time.

Summer released her last album, Crayons in 2008 although TMZ reports she was working on new material at the time of her death.

She is survived by her husband, Brooklyn Dreams singer Bruce Sudano. Summer also has three daughters; two with Sudano and one from her first marriage to German actor Helmut Sommer.

Kristen Stewart glammed up for Snow White and The Huntsman press duties in Berlin, Germany at the Ritz Carlton Hotel.

The 22 year-old rocked it out wearing a figure-hugging, red and black plaid 10 Crosby Derek Lam mid-calf length dress. She cinched it with a black and gold chain McQ belt that gave her a little more edgy look.

Stewart’s hair was pulled back in a slightly messy bun and her eyes were accentuated with dark eyeliner for make up.

The Twilight star told MTV she actually got to know her costar, Charlize Theron better while doing photo calls because they got to spend more time together.

“When Rob, Taylor and I do interviews together, they usually don’t actually ask us anything. We just get to hang out and people like to watch that. It’s fine, because I like hanging out with those guys, but it is weird. With Charlize, it’s been great, because we’re so proud of the movie and we actually only worked together for three days, so we got to know each other probably more or at least on a certain level during press, and it’s been nice. It’s been fun.”

Watch for more photos of Stewart as she hits up the Cannes Film Festival for On The Road promotional duties with Garrett Hedlund.
