Live updates: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s multi-day wedding celebration is underway

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have donated $26 million to charities across the United States this week, including many in New York City, where they are expected to be getting married.

Swift’s representative told CNN the donations went to food banks, music educational programs, an animal cruelty organization and three children’s hospitals, among others.

The donations could signal goodwill from the couple to the city, where NYPD and other city resources have been deployed ahead of the expected wedding.

City Harvest in New York City said the couple donated $1 million to the organization and that they were “incredibly grateful.”

“This donation is a love letter to New York, and a bold commitment to our efforts to ensure that no New Yorker goes hungry,” Jilly Stephens, CEO of City Harvest, said in a statement. “Their support comes at a critical time, with visits to New York City soup kitchens and food pantries near record highs and expected to increase further in response to federal funding cuts.”

Swift and Kelce also made donations to charitable organizations in Kansas City, where Kelce plays for the Chiefs; Nashville, where Swift got her start as a young musician; Los Angeles, where Swift spends much of her time; Pennsylvania, where Swift was born; and Rhode Island, where Swift owns an oceanfront home in a picturesque town once rumored as a possible location for the couple’s wedding.

The couple also donated to national organizations including Feeding America, ASPCA, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, Grammy In the Schools and After-School All-Stars.
