The biggest gift came from Swift herself. The singer has donated $250,000 to schools around the country that she's either attended or worked with. The money will pay teachers' salaries as well as buy books and fund various educational programs.
"Something I wanted to do at the end of this amazing year and especially on my birthday was give back to something I really believe in, which is education," says Swift. "The schools that I went to and the amazing people I got to learn from really turned me into who I am, and I wanted to give back."

Well, the link I sent which was directly to Taylor Swift's channel hasn't a single music video. I could not understand what was going on until I noted the comment section with people asking “ Where are all your videos?? “. Other comments mention other musicians also had all their videos removed. None of it made sense until I saw a comment in which someone stated that any number of musician's channels had been hacked.
From what you told me it sounds like some jerk loaded improper videos in place of what Miss Swift had loaded. I suspect Swift and the other artists removed all their videos until tighter web security could be created by Youtube.
The above link is to the same music video by Swift “ The Best Day “ and it was loaded by a fan. The link should be fine. I highly recommend the song and video as you so rarely see much maturity and sentiment in contemporary music today.
I agree. Public schools tend to reflect the communities they're located in. I went to a very good public school. My brother (a conservative) teaches at another very good public school located in an upscale, conservative district. Not all public schools are liberal indoctrination camps. Some of them actually instill educations.
My office mate and I both got blurry eyes watching that video.
Thank you for posting it. It was the highlight of my day.
Cheers,

I lucked out as it was a Swift fan on FR that posted the original link to the video. I really had no idea what I was watching until Taylors mom called her by her first name.
A wonderful young lady with a bright future!
The avatars (from the commenters) at the site had nudity in them.
That was a lovely song and video. I cried. My little daughter is growing up so fast (ten) and I just pray she feels the same about me. We have had some really good “best days” here lately!
I think you need to get your eyes checked.
I went through all the avatars and the only one that remotely looked naked (if I squinted really hard) was this one:
And it is Taylor herself wearing a white dress and taken from her album cover:
I'm pretty certain that Taylor's official youtube site is the last place you'll see nudity.
Lol! That wasn’t it.
