Taylor Swift's record company surprised her with a big pink pick-up truck for her 18th birthday, and she has found the perfect use for it.
On her MySpace blog, Taylor writes, "I'm very happy to say that I've decided to give my pink truck to Victory Junction Gang, a camp for really sick kids. That thought just makes me smile. For a few weeks, it's being kept at the Country Music Hall of Fame here in Nashville, in case you want to go check it out."
Taylor's donation goes along with her upcoming appearance at Nashville's Sound & Speed event, the country music and NASCAR celebration to be held Jan. 11-12. The event benefits NASCAR's Victory Junction Gang Camp and Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum. Taylor and Alan Jackson are headlining a concert Jan. 12 at the Sommet Center as part of the event.
The Victory Junction Gang Camp will use Taylor's pick-up to pick up children wih chronic medical conditions or serious illness from the airport and take them to camp. Taylor will officially present the keys to the truck to NASCAR's Kyle Petty and his wife, Pattie, at Sound & Speed.
In other news, Taylor's single, "Our Song," is No. 1 for the fourth week.
