Dolly Parton jokingly asked Taylor Swift if she could have her firstborn child after the Cruel Summer singer and her fiance Travis Kelce made a very generous donation to her Imagination Library17:19, 03 Jul 2026Dolly Parton has asked Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce if she can have their firstborn child. The country music legend, 80, took to social media on Friday afternoon to thank Taylor and Travis, who are set to tie the knot in Madison Square Garden today, for donating a substantial amount to her Imagination Library.‌Through the Imagination Library, Dolly provides free books to millions of children before they begin school, and, jokingly asked whether she could have their first child when it arrives because it will be "one special baby" given the generosity of their parents.‌Speaking in a video posted to Instagram, she said: "Taylor and Travis - it's Dolly, and I was just told that you two are making a donation $2 million to my Imagination Library. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am overjoyed and blown away. It's evident that you two have made a giving back a key part of your life, so, hey, when you have your firstborn, can I have it? That is gonna be one special baby!"‌"The mission of the Dollywood Foundation is to dream more, care more, learn more and be more. Thank you again for that very generous gift, and we'll continue that mission, even in bigger ways thanks to your donation, and know that [sings] I Will Always Love you!"Taylor is not currently thought to be pregnant, but did drop a hint towards the end of last year that she would like to start a family with Travis when she released her album The Life of a Showgirl.‌In track Wi$h List, she sings in the chorus: "I just want you. Have a couple kids, got the whole block looking like you. We tell the world to leave us thе f*** alone, and they do." In a further nod to NFL star Travis, also 35, the song continues: "Got me dreaming about a driveway with a basketball hoop. Boss up, settle down, got a wish list (Wish list). I just want you."The A-listers revealed their engagement in August 2025, and although they have remained incredibly secretive about the details since then but significant logistical activity in Manhattan has virtually confirmed that the "wedding of the century" is taking place right now.‌Taylor and Travis reserved the world-renowned venue for a multi-day celebration spanning the Fourth of July holiday weekend. MSG was selected primarily for its exceptional security and privacy benefits; it has no windows for photographers and boasts underground VIP access points to safely escort their A-list guests.The main wedding ceremony and drinks reception will accommodate approximately 1,000 to 1,200 attendees and is reported to continue until 4am tomorrow (July 4) morning.‌However, while some of their guests may face travel disruptions that could delay their arrival or even prevent them from attending altogether, they might not be missing the most crucial moment of the couple's big day — as the pair have allegedly already tied the knot legally, meaning the lavish celebration is purely ceremonial.A source told Page Six that while the couple are still hosting the major bash for 1,000 guests alongside a Thursday evening rehearsal dinner for 100, a smaller gathering of close loved ones was present when the pair exchanged their vows in private."They are already married," the source insisted, reports the Mirror US. Wedding licences in New York State are sealed, meaning the public would be unable to access such information ahead of the couple's wedding, and staff at Manhattan's City Clerk's office previously told the publication that nobody had signed off on a licence for the pair in recent days.Article continues belowThe small ceremony is thought to have potentially taken place in Tennessee, the state Swift made her home at just 14 years old as she embarked on her music career.Like this story?
