Taylor Swift<\/a> and Travis Kelce<\/a> are donating $26m to charities in advance of their rumored wedding at New York\u2019s Madison Square Garden this weekend, a representative for the couple has confirmed to the Guardian.<\/p>\n The 20 named charities include organizations in meaningful locations to the couple such as Nashville (where Swift got her start in music), Kansas City (the home of Kelce\u2019s Chiefs NFL team) and New York<\/a> City, where Swift and Kelce\u2019s wedding is reported to take place.<\/p>\n While the announcement doesn\u2019t explicitly mention the wedding, the donations fit in with a practice that Swift has become known for; at the close of the Eras Tour, she gave six-figure bonuses<\/a> and hand-written letters to her crew.<\/p>\n The release stated: \u201cThis week, Travis Kelce<\/a> and Taylor Swift donated $26 million to charities across the United States. They include the following: City Harvest, New York City; Food Bank For NYC; New York Cares; Los Angeles Regional Food Bank; Harvesters \u2013 The Community Food Network, Kansas City, MO.\u201d<\/p>\n The list of causes also includes: \u201cThe Store, Nashville, TN; Helping Harvest, Reading, PA; Rhode Island Community Food Bank; Feeding America; ASPCA; Dolly Parton\u2019s Imagination Library; Grammy In The Schools; Education Through Music, New York, NY; Answer The Call, New York, NY and Musical Mentors, New York, NY.\u201d<\/p>\n On an appearance on The Graham Norton show last year to promote her album The Life of a Showgirl, Swift said her wedding would be a large-scale and lavish affair.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s huge,\u201d the singer told Norton. \u201cI know it\u2019s gonna be fun to plan because I think the only stressful weddings are the ones where you have a small amount and people are on the bubble. I\u2019m not gonna do that \u2013 it\u2019s gonna be fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
