Celebrity couple Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have donated $26 million to 20 charities ahead of their rumored wedding, according to the pop star’s publicist on Thursday.

The superstar singer and NFL player donated to nine food banks, seven educational programs, three children's hospitals, and a national animal cruelty prevention organization.

Nine of those charities are based in New York, including the Food Bank For NYC, Musical Mentors, and City Harvest.

Gratitude from the organizations was shared online following the celebrity couple's generous donations.

“It’s a love story that feeds good! Thank you to @taylorswift13 and @tkelce for supporting our work rescuing and delivering high-quality food for our New York City neighbors in need,” City Harvest wrote on social media.

The couple also donated to Answer the Call, which provides lifelong support to more than 500 families of fallen NYC first responders. The organization said in a statement that the generous donation will allow first responders to receive the much-deserved care they need.

Other charities are linked to places that Swift and Kelce have called home, including the Rhode Island Community Food Bank near the pop star's Watch Hill estate. They also donated to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, home of Kelce’s NFL team.

Exact amounts to each charity were not disclosed in Thursday's announcement.

Hunger relief organization Feeding America revealed it received $2 million from the couple.

“Thank you @taylorswift13 and @tkelce for your generous $2M gift to Feeding America!” the organization said in a statement shared to social media. “Your support brings us all closer to a future where everyone has the food they need to thrive. So grateful to have partners like you in the movement to end hunger.”

Other national organizations, including the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, also expressed gratitude for their donation. Notably, Swift is widely known as an animal lover and has frequently shared affection for her own cats with fans on social media.

“We’re deeply grateful to @taylorswift13 and @tkelce for their generous donation to the ASPCA as a part of their latest charitable giving announcement,” ASPCA said, while encouraging others to make a difference.

Thursday's $26 charitable donation announcement did not include any mention of Swift and Kelce’s wedding and the couple has not publicly confirmed their rumored nuptials.

Speculation of star-studded wedding festivities over Independence Day weekend emerged amid a lot of activity at Madison Square Garden in New York City this week. Multiple trucks and crews have been spotted going in and out of the massive venue ahead of the holiday weekend. The couple, who got engaged in 2025, have not publicly acknowledged or ever revealed details of their pending nuptials.

The relationship between the pop star and football player has created a lot of buzz among their fans, bringing together the entertainment and sports worlds. Swift drew significant attention from fans when she attended the Kansas City Chiefs' game to support Kelce, while the NFL star has been spotted attending concerts in her sold-out Eras Tour.
