As if we couldn't love Selena Gomez any more, she had to go and do this.

The Wizards of Waverly Place starlet turned on the waterworks—hers and, in the process, ours—by posting a heartfelt video on Wednesday thanking her fans for making it "the best birthday yet."

You see, the Disney darling turned the big 1-7 yesterday, and when she got back to her dressing room, she was so moved by the outpouring of gifts, she just had to share her appreciation with the world…

Of course, watching this honest expression of gratitude immediately made us think about the music video Selena's BFF, Taylor Swift, did recently for Mother's Day.

Both pretty sweet, right? But which one had you reaching for the Kleenex?

Selena and Taylor aren't the only ones with kind hearts as evidenced in our Do-Gooder gallery!
