Taylor Swift makes her tour rehearsal public

Taylor Swift is selling tickets to her final show's dress rehearsal in an attempt to raise money for charity. 

The 'You Belong With Me' sensation will make 13,000 tickets available to fans for what is normally a behind-the-scenes type of performance and will donate all of the proceeds to those affected by the South's recent devastating tornadoes.

The exclusive event has been titled "Speak Now ... Help Now!" and it will take place on May 21 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. She told the Associated Press that it's the least she can do to help the cause:

"I was watching the coverage of the tornadoes backstage at rehearsals, and I wanted to do something for the families affected by the damage. I've never opened a rehearsal to the public before, but I felt that inviting my fans to the last rehearsal for the `Speak Now' tour would be a great way to raise money,"
