Brad Paisley, Kimberly Williams-Paisley Thank Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce for ‘Amazing Donation’

Great Gift

"It will feed so many families, and what a way to start a marriage," the country singer said on social media ahead of the couple's wedding

Brad Paisley and Kimberly Williams-Paisley thanked Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce for donating to their Nashville-based nonprofit, The Store, ahead of the celebrity couple’s wedding on Friday evening.

The duo, clad in their wedding attire, shared a video on Instagram thanking Swift and Kelce for their “amazing donation.”

“On the eve of the wedding of Tay and Trav, this is really an amazing thing to think about, the gift they gave The Store,” Paisley said. “We just wanted to take a second and say it’s transformative. It will feed so many families, and what a way to start a marriage. I’m very excited.”

Williams-Paisley continued, “We are so, so grateful for your donation. This is gonna go such a long way, as Brad said. Food insecurity is at a 10-year high in Nashville and the timing is just so critical. We’re just really, really grateful for your generosity. And congratulations on your upcoming wedding.”

On Thursday, Swift and Kelce donated generous gift of $26 million across 20 charities in the U.S. The list of charities are based in cities that hold personal connections for both Swift and Kelce. They include Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, Nashville’s The Store, Helping Harvest in Swift’s hometown of Reading, P.A., Kansas City’s Children’s Mercy Hospital and Harvesters – The Community Food Network, After-School All-Stars in Kelce’s hometown of Cleveland, along with several national charities like Feeding America National, ASPCA National, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library National, and Grammy in the Schools National.

This is the second contribution Swift has made to The Store in the last year. In January, Paisley revealed that the pop star included them in her donations ahead of the holidays.

“We’re incredibly grateful to Taylor Swift for including The Store in her year-end giving,” the nonprofit wrote on Facebook on Tuesday. “Her generous gift helps us continue providing groceries with dignity and choice to families across Middle Tennessee especially as we prepare to open our second location. Thank you, Taylor, for using your voice and generosity to uplift neighbors in need.”
