Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce held their rehearsal dinner at Madison Square Garden, with CBS News correspondent Jo Ling Kent reporting the event was underway and two law enforcement officials confirming detailed security planning. Media accounts described heavy security for the evening, with one headline likening the precautions to those used for Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. Celebrities including Selena Gomez and Lena Dunham were reported arriving at the venue. Ahead of the wedding, Swift and Kelce announced a combined $26 million in donations to 20 charities: nine food banks, seven educational programs, three children’s hospitals, and an animal cruelty organization. City Harvest publicly thanked the couple for a $1 million gift that the organization said will help feed 2.4 million New Yorkers. Coverage notes the donations were made as part of their pre-wedding celebrations in New York City.
