According to Variety, Swift and Kelce donated USD 26 million this week to at least 20 charitable organisations. The beneficiaries reportedly include nine food banks, an animal cruelty organisation, seven educational programmes and three children's hospitals.

The donations are said to have reached organisations in New York City, Los Angeles, Kansas City, Nashville, Cleveland and several other locations.

"This week, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift donated $26 million to charities across the United States. They include the following..." a part of the announcement read.

Taylor Swift has built a reputation for major philanthropic efforts over the years. During her Eras Tour, she made significant donations to local food banks in cities on the tour schedule. She has also contributed to animal rescue organisations, Florida hurricane relief, Tennessee tornado relief, Los Angeles wildlife relief, hunger relief initiatives, the American Heart Association and children's hospitals.

Wedding reports gather momentum

According to PEOPLE, Swift and Kelce are reportedly planning a black-tie wedding celebration at New York City's Madison Square Garden, with strict guest protocols in place.

Reports suggest the celebrations could host between 500 and 999 guests. George Kittle, Andy Reid, Graham Norton and Suki Waterhouse have reportedly confirmed their attendance, while Ed Sheeran, Zoë Kravitz, Jack Antonoff and Stevie Nicks are also expected to be among the guests.

Preparations at Madison Square Garden reportedly began earlier this week, with trucks carrying equipment and decorations arriving at the venue. Workers were seen unloading boxes, including one labelled "Garden Party", while additional setup work continued over the following days. A red carpet was also spotted outside the venue before it was later removed.

Relationship timeline

Swift and Kelce have been together since the summer of 2023 and reportedly got engaged in August 2025. Although neither has publicly confirmed the wedding date, speculation has intensified following reports of the large-scale charity donations and preparations at Madison Square Garden.
