Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce Make $26M Donation to over 20 Charities Ahead of MSG Wedding

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce made a large donation to several charities ahead of their upcoming wedding at Madison Square Garden.

Chris Willman of Variety reported Thursday that Swift and Kelce donated $26 million to "at least 20 charities this week."

The list of charities includes nine food banks, seven educational programs, three children's hospitals and an animal cruelty organization, per Willman.

A law enforcement official confirmed to the Associated Press that the wedding will take place on Friday night, with a smaller rehearsal dinner expected to occur on Thursday night.

TMZ previously reported between 1,100 and 1,200 guests are planning to attend the wedding.

Andy Reid, Kelce's head coach on the Kansas City Chiefs, is among the confirmed attendees along with San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (via ESPN). Singer Suki Waterhouse and comedian Graham Norton will also be in attendance.

The entire starting lineup of the New York Knicks, the 2026 NBA champions, received invitations as well, according to Carlos Greer of Page Six.

TMZ Sports also reported that a "massive castle" is being constructed inside Madison Square Garden and is believed to be connected to the wedding.

Swift and Kelce initially went public with their relationship in Oct. 2023, with the 14-time Grammy Award winner showing up to Chiefs games to support her partner throughout the following years. The couple later announced their engagement as part of a joint Instagram post in Aug. 2025.
