Dolly Parton has extended a unique request to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, humorously asking for their firstborn child in a video message.

The country music icon's playful plea came as she thanked the couple for their generous $2 million donation to her Imagination Library.

In the video, Parton expressed her gratitude, stating, "Taylor and Travis, it’s Dolly.

I was just told that you two are making a donation of $2 million to my Imagination Library.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I'm blown away and overjoyed with that gratitude.” She then added, "Now it's evident that you two have made giving back a key part of your lives.

So hey, when you have your firstborn, can I have it?

Because that is gonna be one special baby.” This lighthearted interaction highlights the couple's significant philanthropic efforts.

Parton further explained that the donation would help the Dollywood Foundation continue its mission to “dream more, care more, learn more, and be more,” expanding its reach.

She concluded her message by singing a line from her iconic song, “I Will Always Love You.”

Swift and Kelce's $2 million contribution to the Imagination Library is part of a larger charitable initiative.

According to CBS News, the couple reportedly donated a total of $26 million to various charities across the country in anticipation of their wedding.

These donations included support for nine New York City-based organizations such as the Food Bank for NYC, City Harvest, and Musical Mentors.

Their philanthropy also extended to charities close to their personal lives, including the Rhode Island Community Food Bank, as Swift owns a home in the state, and the Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, where Kelce plays for the Chiefs.

National groups like the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Feeding America also received support from the couple.

Swift and Kelce, who announced their engagement last August after two years of dating, are reportedly set to tie the knot at Madison Square Garden.

Their rehearsal dinner, held at the venue's Infosys Theater, was attended by several celebrity friends, including Lena Dunham, Jack Antonoff, Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, and Jarret Stoll.
