Watch: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wed in NYC – here’s how the day unfolded<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

After months of rumours and speculation, superstar couple Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have finally tied the knot at New York’s Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The news was confirmed on Friday evening by Swift’s publicist, and at the same time, giant screens outside the arena lit up with the message: “JUST&T MARRIED!”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Swift, the world’s biggest pop star, and Kelce, a three-time Super Bowl champion, got engaged last August, and fans have been wondering when, where and how it would happen ever since. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

While many details about the celebrations are still under wraps, here is what we know so far.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Actor Adam Sandler, pictured last year, starred in films including 1996’s Happy Gilmore and its 2025 sequel<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

In her song Wi$h Li$t, from her last album, Swift fantasised about settling down with Kelce, sketching out an idyllic future in which they have “a couple kids” and “a driveway with a basketball hoop”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

That song was inspired by Adam Sandler’s character in his 1996 film Happy Gilmore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“He has this happy place where he goes into… This is where he escapes to mentally in times of stress, pressure, anxiety or chaos,” Swift told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“And that chorus of that song is me just describing what my happy place is.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Kelce even made a cameo appearance in the Happy Gilmore sequel last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

It made a certain sense, then, that Sandler should be the one to officiate the wedding and help the happy couple on their way to their happy place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

According to TMZ, the actor also reprised his role from The Wedding Singer by performing his own “humorous yet touching” song at Friday’s ceremony.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sandler has previously spoken about his friendship with the couple. “Taylor’s so damn nice to my family and has always been,” he told Entertainment Tonight last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“She’s ridiculously nice to them and warm, and Travis is such a gentle, nice guy. Funny as hell. He’s like the guys I grew up with.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Travis and Taylor may even have got the idea to hire out Madison Square Garden from Sandler’s 2002 film Mr Deeds, in which his character took over the venue to propose to his girlfriend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

As for Sandler’s qualifications – any adult can apparently apply for a One-Day Marriage Officiant License to oversee a marriage ceremony in New York State.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Taylor and Travis wore Dior<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

There are no photos of the wedding dress yet, but we do know who designed it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“The bride and groom’s wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture,” Swift’s spokeswoman revealed on Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“This is the designer’s first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Anderson, from Northern Ireland, is a former creative director at Loewe, and took over Dior last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

In a statement, Dior said it was “delighted to confirm it has created the wedding looks for the marriage of Taylor and Travis”, which were “created in Dior’s ateliers at 30 Avenue Montaigne, Paris” by Anderson “in close collaboration with the couple”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Swift has worn Dior before, such as the tartan creation above, which she sported at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Swift’s publicist also revealed that the couple’s shoes were custom made by Christian Louboutin and that Swift wore Cartier jewelry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Louboutin has a close association with the singer, after also making the footwear for the European leg of her Eras Tour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Swift did not have a traditional maid of honour, instead choosing her brother Austin as her man of honour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Austin, who at 34 is two years younger than Taylor, is an actor and film producer. She has previously described him as “one of my best pals”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Meanwhile, Travis’s brother, podcast co-host and fellow US football star Jason Kelce, was best man.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\n

Taylor also dispensed with tradition by not having any bridesmaids, while Travis similarly did not have groomsmen, her spokeswoman said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Other rumoured names include Sabrina Carpenter, Jennifer Lawrence, Lana Del Rey, Lena Dunham, Emma Stone, the Haim sisters, Sir Paul McCartney, Zoe Kravitz, Stevie Nicks, Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon and Greta Gerwig.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Guests are assumed to be under instructions not to give away details or photos, and rapper Nelly is one of the few to have posted on Instagram, writing: “S\/O [shout out] to @taylorswift & @killatrav..!! Wedding was incredible.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

BBC Radio 1 DJ Greg James, whom Swift invited to the wedding live on his programme, wrote on Instagram on Saturday: “Just&t to say: true to her word, of course the invitation arrived and of course I couldn’t tell anyone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Apart from what Swift’s representative revealed, details of the night have been kept under wraps – although some information has emerged.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The hosts of US TV’s Good Morning America, who were there, confirmed that Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks performed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Co-presenter George Stephanopoulos said the event was “as intimate as it could possibly be given it was Madison Square Garden”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

He described the setting as a “garden inside the Garden”, adding: “It was just so beautiful. It’s hard to imagine that a place that big and a wedding with such stars could feel so personal and so intimate.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

AMC Theatres CEO Adam Aron wrote in a now-deleted X post that the indoor venue had been transformed into “an outdoor garden at a lush countryside retreat”, with Kelce wearing a white tuxedo and Swift in “a stunning white wedding dress with a long veiled train”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Another guest who spoke to the Reuters news agency said the night had been “incredible”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“They cried, and they laughed and they danced, and they hugged and they kissed,” they said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

An inside source told TMZ that Swift walked down the aisle to one of her songs being played on strings, and that the decor was described as “Alice in Wonderland meets The Wizard of Oz”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Elaborate sets were seen being loaded into the venue in the lead up, including a large glitterball, a white staircase railing and items labelled “garden party”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Eyebrows were raised at the choice of Madison Square Garden as the venue, but as well as being an iconic location where the worlds of music and sport collide, one possible reason is that the interior could not be photographed by paparazzi or drones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
