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."

Liam Hemsworth was reportedly involved in a street fight in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The Hunger Games actor was involved in an altercation outside a bar in Philadelphia when he confronted another man who he thought had thrown a rock at him and his friend. In video footage posted on gossip website TMZ, the man is seen on the ground clinging to Liam's leg, before the actor punches him in the face and pushes his head down, while his pal helps hold the guy down.
Police arrived at the scene and dispersed the crowd, but no official reports have been filed.
Liam and his friend left and the unnamed man - who was bleeding - said, "I don't think [Liam] fared much better." However, sources on the scene said that the 22-year-old actor - who was in the city working on new movie Paranoia - was unhurt and that, despite his claims, no one saw a rock get thrown.
