Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce donated $26 million to various charities across the United States this week, Page Six reported.
In the days leading up to their much-anticipated wedding, scheduled for Friday at Madison Square Garden in New York City, the couple decided to give back in a big way.
Swift and Kelsey are reportedly worth an estimated $2.8 billion combined and have donated to City Harvest Food Rescue Center, Food Bank for New York, New York Cares, Education Through Music, Answer the Call, Musical Mentors Collaborative, and Afterschool All Stars New York, all of which are based in the Big Apple.
“We are extremely grateful for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s generous $1 million donation to City Harvest,” CEO Jilly Stevens told Us, calling the donation a “love letter” to New Yorkers, especially during a “time of crisis.”
Meanwhile, Education Through Music CEO Janice Weinman revealed that the bride and groom have made a “transformative” $2 million gift to the organization.
“This gift will help us reach more students, support more music teachers, and ensure that music remains a meaningful part of children’s basic education, especially in schools where access to the arts is too limited,” Weinman said.
In addition, Swift and Kelsey made donations to NYU Langone’s Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital and MSK Kids for Children and Teens with Cancer at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Dr. Selwyn M. Vickers, president and CEO of MSK Kids, announced the $1 million donation to employees in a company-wide email, marveling, “The gift to MSK Kids is part of Taylor and Travis’ broader philanthropy, as they support multiple organizations in honor of their upcoming wedding, which makes their generosity even more meaningful.”
“I am thrilled that they chose to honor MSK at this joyous time in their lives and am grateful for their commitment to making a difference for young cancer patients.”
The two also donate to Children & Teens and Youth & Young Adults (AYA) programs at Children’s Mercy Hospital and Harvesters – Community Food Network in Kansas City, Missouri, which holds a special place in the Kansas City Chiefs player’s heart.
Notably, Kelsey proposed to Swift in August 2025 in the backyard of their mansion in Leawood, Kansas, which borders Missouri. He also owns a home there.
Considering this athlete was born and raised in Ohio, he and the pop superstar also contributed to After School All Stars Cleveland.
Additionally, the couple made donations to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, the Rhode Island Community Food Bank, The Store in Nashville, and Helping Harvest in Reading, Pennsylvania.
Notably, Swift owns real estate in New York, Los Angeles, Rhode Island, and Nashville, where she began playing music after relocating with her family from Pennsylvania.
“Incredibly grateful” Rhode Island Community Food Bank CEO Melissa Charney said Swift and Kelsey’s “unexpected gift” worth $1 million “will go a long way in helping (the organization) purchase and distribute the nutritious and culturally appropriate food that Rhode Islanders deserve.”
The 14-time Grammy Award winner and three-time Super Bowl champion has also donated to multiple national charities, including Feeding America, the ASPCA, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, and Grammy in the School.
“Thank you Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce for their generous $2 million gift to Feeding America,” the charity said in a statement on social media. “This support builds on Taylor’s continued commitment to neighborhoods across the country and brings us all closer to a future where everyone has the food they need to thrive.”
As Swifties recalls, the singer-songwriter secretly donated to local food banks in all 51 cities of her record-breaking Elas tour route. The tour, which cemented Swift’s billionaire status, visited five continents during its 21-month run.
She and Kelsey, both 36, reportedly spent $3 million to rent MSG for three full days and another $160,000 on excessive police presence at the arena as part of special access permits for the event.
The celebrity nuptials will begin on Thursday with a rehearsal dinner for 100 people, followed by a huge gala the next day with 1,000 guests and performances by Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw.
