Taylor Swift is named the most charitable celebrity of 2014. She has held the title since 2012. This year, she beats "Orange Is the New Black" star Laverne Cox, singer R&B Beyonce Knowles, and "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" actress Emma Watson.
25-year-old Swift released the single "Welcome to New York" this year and then donated all proceeds from the song to New York City Public Schools. She most recently bought a Hugh Jackman T-shirt for $6,000 in an auction benefiting Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
Cox lands at No. 2 for her avid support to the LGBT community. Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, and Watson round up the top 5 in a respective order. While Queen Bey and Watson are recognized for their efforts to bring "feminism to the forefront," Miley is feted for raising awareness on homelessness.
In a vote on DoSomething.org, One Direction ranks sixth, John Cena follows at No. 7, Shonda Rhimes occupies the eighth place, while Tyler Oakley and Chris Pratt round up the top 10.
