“It’s selling really well – which is good, because I’m donating all of my proceeds to New York City public schools,” the Pennsylvania-born star said back then.

The donation is a one-time deal only. But Swift’s generosity was greatly appreciated.

“We’re deeply appreciative of this kind gesture to donate her proceeds of the single ‘Welcome to New York’ to benefit NYC public schools,” said Devora Kaye, a spokeswoman for the Department of Education.
