Time to take a break from gossip and rumors for some truly good news about some of our favorite celebs. DoSomething.org, an organization for teens and social change, just announced its fifth annual “Top 20 Celebs Gone Good” list. And at the top of the list is none other than Taylor Swift, who came in at number 20 last year. What earned Tay the top spot? Well, a ton of things, actually. This year, she became the youngest person to ever receive the Ripple of Hope Award from the Robert F. Kennedy Center for her charity work, and, on top of that, she donated $4 million (the largest sum yet!) to the Country Hall of Fame Museum. And, as anyone who’s heard Tay’s hit “Ronan” knows, she dedicated to helping sick children, too.

Miley Cyrus came in number two on the Do Something list and other faves like Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber also made the top 20. click below for the full list.
