Watch: Travis Kelce Steps Out in NYC Days Before Rumored Taylor Swift Wedding
You’ve seen the lights, the (supposed) party and ballgowns, but Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s latest act of kindness has just made its way through the crowd.
Ahead of the couple’s rumored July 3 weddingat Madison Square Garden in New York, they proved they keep their side of the street more than clean by donating a whopping $26 million to various U.S. charitable organizations, E! News has learned.
Among the charities part of the gold rush are New York Cares, City Harvest New York City, Food Bank for NYC, Education Through Music NYC, Answer the Call NYC, Musical Mentors NYC and After-School All Stars NYC.
New York-based hospitals including the pediatric oncology program at Memorial Sloan Kettering, as well as the Hassenfield’s Children’s Hospital at New York University’s Langone also received parts of the donation.
And Swift proved she protects her longtime country family, with Brad Paisley and Kimberly Williams-Paisley’s nonprofit The Store and Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library also seeing part of the donation.
Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs player paid homage with Kansas City’s Harvesters—The Community Food Network, Children’s Mercy Hospital and After-School All Stars in Cleveland, Ohio receiving a donation.
Other charities that were part of Swift and Kelce’s disguised altruism included Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, Rhode Island Community Food Bank, Feeding America, ASPCA and Grammy in the Schools.
This is far from the first time Swift has fulfilled the wi$h li$ts of charities and those around her. In fact, the Grammy winner has built a big reputation for her acts of kindness, most recently with her various donations throughout the Eras Tour, as well as the hefty bonuses she shelled out to crew—which was estimated to be around $197 million total.

“Bonus day is so important because setting a precedent with The Eras Tour is really important to me,” Swift said in her End of an Era documentary. “These people just work so hard and they are the best at what they do.”
Indeed, it’s a part of Swift’s legacy that you could never undo.
“For me, that’s the most fun thing in the world,” Swift said during a 2009 interview with The Hot Desk. “Rather than buying a Lamborghini, I just make sure everyone feels like they’re in the right place.”
As she put it, “You do it because you’ve been given a real good lot in life and I just am really grateful so I try to help other people when I can.”
This do-gooder just might have found a cowboy like her in Kelce. After all, the NFL star founded his own nonprofit, 87 and Running, in 2015.
“I don’t care what you look like, where you come from,” he said in a Chiefs video promoting his charity last year. “I’m gonna be friendly and lend a helping hand. I just don’t know any other way.”
