Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have just announced $26 million in donations to at least 20 charities ahead of their wedding, allegedly being held at Madison Square Garden this weekend.
While the duo has not officially announced their wedding, plenty of reports point to a massive celebration in New York City over Independence Day weekend, and the simple announcement from a representative makes it clear the couple is in the mood for a celebration.
The charities include food banks, animal welfare organizations, educational programs, and children’s hospitals.
According to Variety, the announcement from a representative of the couple said the following:
“This week, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift donated $26 million to charities across the United States,” followed by a list of the respective nonprofits.
Beneficiaries of these donations include:

Swift has a storied history making large donations during large, public moments in her life, specifically throughout The Eras Tour, and again when she released her “Elizabeth Taylor” music video earlier this year.
And although unaffiliated from the couple, the Monterrey Bay Aquarium has leveraged the couple’s star power to advocate for marine conservation, as well.
While neither Swift nor Kelce has publicly confirmed their nuptials this weekend, this is the closest the stars have gotten to revealing their big plans to the world.
