Taylor Swift continues to campaign for the title of World's Nicest Human by donating a whopping $50,000 to her backup dancer's baby nephew, who is suffering with some form of cancer.

The baby's uncle Kim Toshi Davidson – aka Toshi – has been working with Taylor on the choreography of her 1989 World Tour, and let her know the sad news while they were travelling.

Tay-Tay wasted no time in logging on to baby Ayden's Go Fund Me page and donating the enormous amount, adding the message: "Baby Ayden, I'm lucky enough to perform with your uncle Toshi on tour. All of us are praying for you and your mama and sending so much love your way. Love, Taylor."

Little Ayden, who is 13 months old, was first diagnosed with pneumonia when doctors found fluid in his lungs, but this week was given the cancer diagnosis when his medical team found suspicious cells.

His mum, Lindsey, has since updated the donations page, saying:

"Thank you so much to Ayden's uncle Toshi and Taylor Swift for their generous donation, which will allow Lindsey to focus on Ayden and be with him day and night without having to leave his side. > >

"Thank you so much...words cannot express the deep gratitude we have for you two and everyone that is a part of TEAM AYDEN who have prayed and contributed to the cause! God Bless all of you!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!"

As for Toshi, he only found out what his lovely employer had done after flying to Canada. He Instagrammed the moment he learnt about the donation:

N'aww.
