Taylor Swift wrote on Instagram: “No one should have to go to school in fear of gun violence. Or to a nightclub. Or to a concert. Or to a movie theater. Or to their place of worship.

“I’ve made a donation to show my support for the students, for the March For Our Lives campaign, for everyone affected by these tragedies, and to support gun reform. I’m so moved by the Parkland High School students, faculty, by all families and friends of victims who have spoken out, trying to prevent this from happening again.

While singers including Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande, Common, and Lin-Manuel Miranda were among the performers who took to the stage in memory of the lives lost in Florida and in similiar shootings across the country.
