Taylor Swift Is Donating the Proceeds to "Welcome to New York"

Taylor Swift hasn't shied away from her love of New York City — she even wrote "Welcome to New York" about it! — and now she's giving back in a major way. The singer announced on The View that all the proceeds from the song will be going to NYC public schools.

“I love it here," she said. "I love it so much...I don’t think I told anybody this before, but the fans were wonderful enough to make it No. 1 on iTunes. It’s selling really well — which is good, because I’m donating all of my proceeds to New York City public schools.”

The "Shake It Off" singer was recently appointed the Global Welcome Ambassador of New York, so it's only fitting that she's giving back. We think this is super-cute! And because the song is so popular, it is obviously going to raise a lot of money for the school system.
