Dolly Parton has a playful request to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce amid their wedding celebrations.
The country musician shared a heartfelt Instagram video after the couple donated $2 million to her Imagination Library.
“Taylor and Travis, it’s Dolly,” Parton began. “I was just told that you two are making a donation of $2 million to my Imagination Library. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’m blown away and overjoyed with that gratitude.”
She praised their commitment to philanthropy and said, “Now it’s evident that you two have made giving back a key part of your lives. So hey, when you have your firstborn, can I have it? Because that is gonna be one special baby.”
Parton also highlighted the cause that her foundation is committed to and explained, “The mission of the Dollywood Foundation is to dream more, care more, learn more and be more.”
She continued, “And we’ll continue that mission even in bigger ways now with your money.” The Grammy winner concluded her video with a heartfelt thank-you before singing a few lines from her all-time classic, “I Will Always Love You.”
The generous gift from Kelce and Swift is a part of their greater charitable effort ahead of their wedding. Page Six reported they donated a combined $26 million to organizations across the United States.
The pop star and NFL player supported causes such as food security, children’s healthcare, music education and animal welfare in cities that hold special meaning for them.
Some institutions that the duo donated to include City Harvest, Food Bank for NYC, New York Cares, Education Through Music and Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City.
Meanwhile, wedding festivities continue to unfold in New York City, presumably at Madison Square Garden. CNN reported that the multi-day celebration is expected to begin with a ceremony at 5:30 p.m., followed by a reception for 1,000 guests that could continue until 4 a.m.
Per BBC, trucks unloaded flour, tomatoes, pizza sauce and lobster meat at the venue for the rehearsal dinner the night before.
