Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are rumored to get married this week at Madison Square Garden. But before the festivities kick off and become the talk of the town world, the power couple decided to donate a generous gift of $26 million across 20 charities in the U.S., a Swift rep tells Rolling Stone.
The list of charities are based in cities that hold personal connections for both Swift and Kelce. They include Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, Nashville’s The Store, Helping Harvest in Swift’s hometown of Reading, P.A., Kansas City’s Children’s Mercy Hospital and Harvesters – The Community Food Network, After-School All-Stars in Kelce’s hometown of Cleveland, along with several national charities like Feeding America National, ASPCA National, Dolly Parton”s Imagination Library National, and Grammy In The Schools National.
Notably, the couple also donated to charities in places that were rumored wedding destinations, like Community Food Bank in Rhode Island, where Swift also owns a home. Nine charities in New York received a donation, including New York City’s City Harvest, Food Bank for NYC, New York Cares, Education Through Music in New York, Answer The Call in New York, Musical Mentors in New York, After-School All- Stars in New York, MSK Kids, the pediatric cancer program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Children & Teen and Adolescents & Young Adult (AYA) Programs, and Hassenfeld Children’s Hosipal at NYU Langone. Swift and Kelce’s wedding has been confirmed to take place at one of New York’s most iconic venues, Madison Square Garden.
The superstar couple’s donation comes as the media frenzy surrounding their Fourth of July wedding reaches a fever pitch. Reports have suggested hefty price tags for the big event, with luxury wedding planners estimating a total cost of $15 million to $20 million. In 2023, Swift reached billionaire status following the success of the Eras tour. Last month, it was reported that the pop star had doubled her net worth.
