If you've listened to her new album folklore, you'll already be more than aware of Taylor Swift's ability to brighten up everybody's day in dark times.
But recently she took things to a whole new level.
On Thursday, the pop star appears to have donated £23,373 ($30,716) to the GoFundMe of 18-year-old Vitoria Mario, a student in the UK raising money to put herself through university.
"I have received a conditional offer to study Mathematics (MMath) at the prestigious University of Warwick. I have already attained AABB at AS Level and I have recently achieved A*A*A in my A-Levels in Maths, Further Maths and Physics, respectively," reads Mario's GoFundMe page.
"However, I am still in a position of uncertainty as I may not be able to attend university due to my circumstances. I have lived in the U.K. for 4 years now, after migrating from Portugal to live with family in Tottenham. The socio-economic barriers of not being eligible for maintenance loans/grants is due not only to not having ‘Home’ status, but also because my family are low income, and unable to help me self-fund through university."
Given that she was unable to obtain a maintenance loan from Student Finance England, Mario was attempting to raise £40,000 ($52,600) in order to cover the costs of accommodation, equipment, and living for her four-year course. But after 20 days of funding, she still hadn't quite hit the halfway mark.
That is until Thursday, when Swift stepped in.

SEE ALSO:Taylor Swift's 'folklore' is a gorgeous moodAt the time of writing Mario's page has cruised passed its target, with the total currently standing at £42,673. New donations are coming in all the time, too.
Needless to say, Mario was more than just a little excited.

OK, so there's no way of surefire proving this time that this is the actualTaylor Swift — it could always be someone posing as her by entering her name as theirs on GoFundMe — without a statement from Swift herself, but given the size of the donation and the singer's history of digital philanthropy, it seems like a pretty fair assumption to make.
This isn't the first time Swift has given money away online. Just a few months back, a number of her fans who had appealed for help during the coronavirus also received $3,000 donations from the singer.
