Pop star Taylor Swift has shown off her generous side by donating 14,000 books to a library in Tennessee.

The "Love Story" hitmaker is re-stocking the Nashville Public Library, while some of the new Scholastic titles will be sent to low-income children, pre-schools and daycare centers.

Each book will have a donation plate on the inside cover declaring: '"A Gift to the Children of Nashville from Taylor Swift and Scholastic Inc."

Swift has previously shown her support for literacy in the U.S. by donating $68,000 (£42,500)-worth of reading material to a library in Pennsylvania.
