In a statement Morlot wrote, "I was thrilled to hear that Taylor was moved by 'Become Ocean,'" which won a 2014 Pulitzer Prize for music. The Seattle Times also reports that Swift's donation will be used for two Seattle Symphony programs: Link Up, a music-education program for elementary-school students and its musicians' pension fund.
