Dolly Parton expressed her gratitude and playful intentions towards Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce after the couple made a $2 million donation to Parton's Imagination Library.
Swift and Kelce reportedly donated $26 million in total to various charities, with Parton's book giveaway program being one of the recipients. The Imagination Library, founded over 30 years ago, aims to foster a love of reading in children globally. Parton shared her appreciation in a video message, stating she was "overjoyed" by their philanthropy.
"Taylor and Travis, it's Dolly," Parton said in the clip shared to X. "I was just told that you two are making a donation of $2 million to my Imagination Library. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Parton added, "I'm blown away and overjoyed with that gratitude. Now it's evident that you two have made giving back a key part of your lives." She then humorously asked the couple about their future children, "So, hey, when you have your firstborn, can I have it? Because that is gonna be one special baby!"
The donation comes as Swift and Kelce are reportedly holding lavish wedding celebrations in New York City. Their philanthropic efforts also extended to other organizations, including the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Feeding America, as well as the Rhode Island Community Food Bank and Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri. Parton concluded her message by singing a snippet of her hit song "I Will Always Love You."
