Taylor Swift has donated $50,000 to a children's hospital in Philadelphia.
The 24-year-old singer has given the large sum of money to The Children's Hospital in Pennsylvania to help fund a music program for youngsters suffering from cancer. The specialized scheme promises to lift the spirits of young sick patients by allowing them to create and produce their own music during their treatment.
"Taylor Swift's gift will help lift the spirits of many patients during a difficult time. Taylor Swift's music is an inspiration to so many of our teen patients," said the CEO of the medical center, Steven M. Altschuler.
Lamia Barakat, director of the Psychosocial Services Program at the cancer center, added, "We can think of no better way to use her gift than to grow our Adolescent and Young Adult initiative designed to support the emotional well-being of our teens with cancer."

Joe Jonas: Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato Introduced Me to Weed
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Break-ups, Dating, Drugs, Meltdowns, Features,
Joe Jonas has claimed Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato encouraged him to try marijuana.
The squeaky clean star has said his fellow Disney Channel stars - who are both three years younger than him - pressured him into smoking a joint when they were teenagers. "The first time I smoked weed was with Demi and Miley. I must have been 17 or 18. They kept saying, 'Try it! Try it!' so I gave it a shot, and it was all right. I don't even smoke weed that often anymore," Joe, 24, told Vulture.
The singer also opened up about his rocky relationship with Demi, claiming the X Factor judge - who went to rehab for "physical and emotional issues" in 2010 - was actually struggling with full-blown "drug abuse" and he only stayed with her because he wanted to help her. "I really got to know her and got to see the ins and outs of what she was struggling with, like drug abuse. I felt like I needed to take care of her, but at the same time I was living a lie, because I wasn't happy but felt like I had to stay in it for her, because she needed help. I couldn't express any of that, of course, because I had a brand to protect," he recalled.

Taylor Swift is hunting for a new home in London.
The "Everything Has Changed" singer is tired of staying in hotels and wants a place of her own for when she visits the UK capital or comes to Europe. "Taylor isn't moving to London permanently but she wants a European base and she absolutely loves it in Britain. She's been spending more and more time here recently and is tired of camping out in hotels. This way she can make a place her own and get some proper privacy," a source said.
The 22-year-old musician, who is said to be worth over $220 million, paid $11 million in cash for her mansion in Rhode Island, New England, last year. The impressive property has five bedrooms and was Taylor's fourth home. It sits in front of 700 ft of waterfront and encompasses more than 11,000 sq ft of living space, sitting on five acres of land.
Taylor - who kicked off the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show wearing a Union flag-print mini-dress in New York on Wednesday - is set to spend more time in London next year after announcing five dates at The O2 next February as part of her ongoing Red Tour.
