Taylor Swift has pledged $4 million to fund a new education center at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville. At more than 7,500 square feet, the space will encompass parts of two floors and feature three classrooms and a state-of-the-art children's exhibit gallery. It is scheduled to open in early 2014. Swift's gift is the largest capital contribution by an individual artist in the museum's 45-year history, prompting the museum to name the new space the Taylor Swift Education Center. The museum is currently expanding their facility from 140,000 square feet to more than 350,000 square feet.
