Brad Paisley Thanks Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce for Wedding Donation to The Store

Country star Brad Paisley and his wife, actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley, have thanked Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce for a donation to their Nashville-based nonprofit, The Store, ahead of the celebrity couple's wedding.

According to a report from Rolling Stone, the Paisleys shared a video on Instagram on the eve of the wedding to express their gratitude. In the clip, Brad Paisley called the gift "transformative" for their organization, which works to combat food insecurity.

"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. "It will feed so many families, and what a way to start a marriage."

What is The Store?

The Store, launched in 2020, aims to provide groceries with dignity and choice to families across Middle Tennessee. Williams-Paisley noted the timing of the donation was critical, as food insecurity in Nashville is reportedly at a 10-year high.

How big was the donation?

The gift to The Store was part of a larger charitable effort. Rolling Stone reports that on Thursday, Swift and Kelce donated $26 million across 20 charities in the United States. The charities are based in cities with personal connections to the couple, including Los Angeles, Nashville, Swift's hometown of Reading, Pennsylvania, and Kelce's hometown of Cleveland.

In January, the nonprofit thanked her for a "generous gift" included in her year-end giving.
