Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are spreading their wedding love all around, including to millions of children via Dolly Parton.

Ahead of their upcoming nuptials, rumored to be at Madison Square Garden this weekend, the couple donated $26 million to charities across the country, with $2 million going to Parton’s Imagination Library, a program that sends free books to young kids.

Parton personally thanked the couple in a video shared on social media.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm blown away and overjoyed with that gratitude,” Parton said in the July 3 video.

“The mission of the Dollywood Foundation is to dream more, care more, learn more and be more. And thank you again for your very generous gift. And we'll continue that mission even in bigger ways now with your money. So, thank you and know that I will always love you,” Parton continued.
