Written by Kelly Bandas on March 28, 2012 – 8:35 am -It’s not big deal but…
During Nickelodeon’s 25th annual Kids Choice Awards this Saturday night, First Lady Michele Obama will honor country music superstar Taylor Swift.
Oh wait, that’s actually a huge deal. Congrats Tay-Tay!
According to sources, Swift will be presented with The Big Help Award for her charitable efforts with Habitat for Humanity, the St. Jude Medical Center, the Red Cross and The Make-a-Wish Foundation.
Not a bad little resume if we do say so ourselves!

The 18 year-old singer, who made her first trip in February with the Starkey Hearing Foundation, said she wanted to go again and is making it happen.
Last weekend she spent time in Minnesota at the Foundation’s Annual Gala where she bid on a trip to the Hurricane ravaged nation.

Miley ended up with the winning bid for the trip in the silent auction and tweeted how happy she was.
“Going back to Haiti
just bid at the @starkeyhearing gala and it’s confirmed! I am so excited! Bringing all my friends this time. #blessed”
At the So The World May Hear Awards Gala, Miley performed for the crowd which included Marlee Matlin, former President Bill Clinton and Kevin Costner.
She shared in a statment:
