Regarding reactions to Swift and Kelce’s $26 million donation to various food banks and charities, social media users are speaking out. For the most part, fans are cheering for the couple, noting that some of the organizations receiving money have suffered budget cuts in recent months.
One person said: “Everyone is trying to paint her as a greedy billionaire, when she is a true and generous philanthropist. OH TAYGOD!” Someone else said: “This is how you use your wealth. Kudos to them.”
Another social media user said: “And notice how she doesn’t disclose her donations, while Billie Eilish, the queen of capitalism, has to say she’s a woke queen when she’s just a hypocrite.” »
Another person wrote: “This is how you use your platform and wealth. $26 million for real causes before marriage…power couple making power moves.”
However, others talk about the security of marriage. Specifically, some social media users say the couple should pay the New York City police officers who will have to handle the wedding.
One X user said: “Paying the salary of the NYPD who has to work OT because of his crazy marriage makes no sense. Another X user said: “Did they pay for their own security? No, they want the NYPD and taxpayers to pay for it.”
Finally, someone else speculated: “They saw people getting angry about the MSG wedding and are trying to soften the blow lol.”
