No it's not her camel toe that's her gift to everyone.  Its concert tickets and $10,000 because of a prank that users of reddit and 4chan played on the Horace Mann School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.  

Via OMG: The 22-year-old singer has donated $10,000 and concert tickets to a bunch of kids who were the victims of a recent prank. Papa John's Pizza and Chegg, a company that offers textbooks for rent, sponsored a contest last month in which the school with the most votes on Facebook would win a live performance by Swift. Some voters from the websites 4chan and Reddit thought it would be funny if the students at the Horace Mann School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in Boston scored the grand prize, so they voted for the school. Then, other people heard about the mean-spirited joke and also voted for Horace Mann. After all the drama, the school was deemed ineligible in the contest, but was a big winner in the end. In addition to Swift's $10,000 gift, each student at the school will receive a ticket to her next local concert. The school also received $10,000 from each of the contest sponsors, as well as CoverGirl and American Greetings, two companies Swift works for as a spokeswoman. VH1's Save the Music foundation is also awarding the school $10,000 worth of musical instruments.
