Taylor Swift is more than just a talented singer and a pretty face. The media darling has also proven that she has a big heart by donating $50,000 to help New York City's public schools, and has even committed to do more to improve the city's educational programme.

Capital New York reported that the singer made the donation following her promise last October that the proceeds from her single "Welcome to New York" will benefit NYC public schools.

She made the announcement during a guest appearance on The View. "It's selling really, really well, which is good because I'm donating all my proceeds to New York City public schools," she said about her song.

The Department of Education is very grateful for the donation and said that it would go towards Sing!, a student-run musical production competition for high schoolers.

Swift's publicist Tree Paine added that the $50,000 donation is only the beginning. "This is not a one-time donation. Taylor will continue to donate the proceeds she receives from the sale of the single 'Welcome to New York' to NYC public schools," confirmed Paine.

Swift's song "Welcome to New York" is part of her wildly successful 1989 album, which has already sold 1.287 million copies since it was first released last fall. It quickly became the top selling album of 2014 and it was the first album to sell one million copies this year.

Earlier, Swift helped out a fan by paying for her student loans, and she did it in the sweetest way possible. Us Magazine shared that Rebekah Bortniker, a huge fan of Swift received a box of presents from the singer this January.

It contained a letter dated January 11, and it read: "Hi you. I was thinking about you today, and how you have been there cheering me on in the most thoughtful and creative ways. I love the video you made of me and my friends, and your text posts always crack me up or make me think. I got out my paints for the first time in a while today and made you something I really really really really hope you like it. I'm not a good painter but I think you're so beautiful and positive, even though you're dealing with the stress life brings, so I wanted to make you something."

Aside from the painting, Bortniker also received a necklace with the note "Was mine, now yours" and a check for $1,989.

"Rebekah, now you're $1,989 closer to paying off those student loans," wrote Swift, and Bortniker was brought to tears because of the kind gesture.
