The performance last night, featuring Butch Walker on banjolin was spawned by a twitter/youtube post of the cover by Walker in November:

Well done guys!

Not only is she mega-talented, insanely popular, and probably one of the best-selling artists of the twenty-oughts, Taylor Swift is also very generous:

“Something I wanted to do at the end of this amazing year and especially on my birthday was give back to something I really believe in, which is education,” Taylor told the mag. “The schools that I went to and the amazing people I got to learn from really turned me into who I am, and I wanted to give back.”

And so, the 20 year-old (!)  donated $250,000 to those schools. In addition, she baked (herself) treats for guests at her birthday party in Henderson, Tennessee. Too cool Taylor.

Too funny
