Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are reportedly spreading the love beyond themselves ahead of their wedding in New York City on Friday. Swift’s publicist confirmed to multiple outlets that the pair had recently shelled out $26 million in donations to separate organizations.
The 14-time Grammy Award-winning artist and three-time Super Bowl champion tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs are set to be married at Madison Square Garden, the famous home of the New York Knicks.

Swift’s publicist, Tree Paine, did not immediately respond to The Athletic’s request to confirm the total amount donated.
Several nonprofit organizations, such as Feeding America, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and Children’s Mercy took to social media to thank the duo for their donations. Feeding America, which operates a nationwide network of food banks and local meal programs, revealed that it had received a $2 million donation.
“Thank you, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, for your generous $2 million gift to Feeding America!” the statement read. “This support builds on Taylor’s ongoing commitment to neighbors across the country and brings us all closer to a future where everyone has the food they need to thrive. We’re so grateful to have partners like you in this work.”

Swift has previously partnered with Feeding America, including giving a $1 million gift to the organization around Christmas in 2025.
Children’s Mercy, a children’s pediatric medical center in Kansas City, confirmed a donation and thanked Swift and Kelce with a Swift-inspired note on Instagram. The hospital wrote that it was in its “grateful era,” an ode to Swift’s recent “The Eras Tour.”
“The rumor about (Swift) and (Kelce)? It’s true,” the post read. “And we heard it with our own happy hearts. Their incredible gift will help bring more comfort, joy and ‘just be a kid’ moments to Children’s Mercy, supporting the programs, services and care that make hospital days brighter for kids and families. …
“Friendship bracelets, end-zone dances and a whole lot of gratitude — Taylor and Travis, we’re in our grateful era. Thank you.”
Several other organizations — including the Grammy Museum, City Harvest NYC, Food Bank for New York City, and the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank — are among just over a dozen charities that have released statements thanking the nearly newlyweds for their donations to various community efforts.
