Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce make incredible $26 million gesture ahead of reported wedding

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have donated a whopping $26 million (£19.4 million) to more than a dozen charities ahead of their wedding.

Although the couple have yet to officially confirm their nuptials, all signs appear to reveal that there will be a wedding celebration at Madison Square Garden (MSG) in New York City with events kicking off today (3 July).

Typically, when folks get married it’s the guests who provide the gifts, but it seems that Taylor and Travis are doing things differently by very generously donating $26 million to charities and organisations.

The couple appear to have selected causes that are in meaningful locations, including Nashville, where Taylor got her big break; Kansas City, where Travis’ NFL team hails from; and New York, where the pair will reportedly tie the knot.

In a simple announcement for such a grand gesture, a representative for the couple said: “This week, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift donated 26 million dollars to charities across the United States.

“They include the following: City Harvest, New York City; Food Bank For NYC; New York Cares; Los Angeles Regional Food Bank; Harvesters – The Community Food Network, Kansas City, MO.”

The list of good causes also includes: “The Store, Nashville, TN; Helping Harvest, Reading, PA; Rhode Island Community Food Bank; Feeding America; ASPCA; Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library; Grammy In The Schools; Education Through Music, New York, NY; Answer The Call, New York, NY and Musical Mentors, New York, NY.”

While the announcement didn’t reveal how the $26 million was split, Feeding America released a statement confirming it had been given $2 million.
