Details Emerge on Taylor Swift's Wedding

Details of singer Taylor Swift's wedding to three-time Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce on Friday at Madison Square Garden (MSG) in New York City are being reported from multiple outlets.

The couple, both 36, were married by comedian Adam Sandler in front of about 1,000 people on the floor of the arena, designed as a forest setting. Sandler reportedly sang an original comedic song about the couple.

Swift’s younger brother, music executive Austin Swift, served as her Man of Honor, while Kelce's older brother, fellow NFL player Jason Kelce, was his Best Man. There were no bridesmaids or groomsmen. Jason's three daughters were the flower girls.

ABC News quoted Good Morning America host George Stephanopoulos as saying the vows were, "Everything you would hope for: real, vulnerable, serious, and silly."

Swift's aunt Robin Gentry told LBC (UK), "They cried, and they laughed, and they danced, and they hugged, and they kissed."

Stevie Nicks sang an undisclosed set.

Reports claim Sabrina Carpenter sang late-night karaoke, as did Tate McRae, Ciara, Kesha, Avril Lavigne, and The Chainsmokers.

PEOPLE magazine reported that guests received "an ivory handkerchief trimmed with lace and embroidered with a monogram in the center incorporating the first initials of the bride and groom. On either side of the monogram were the couple's wedding date and location in cursive. Below the monogram were the embroidered lyrics 'So it's gonna be forever...' from Swift's 2014 song 'Blank Space'".

PEOPLE also reported that Paul McCartney performed.

US magazine reports that guests included, in part, Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Ed Sheeran, Steven Spielberg, Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, Hugh Grant, Ethan Hawke, Jason Sudeikis, Dakota Johnson, Benson Boone, Jessica Alba, Nelly, Ashanti, and Chris Rock. Additional attendees can be found on USA TODAY, PEOPLE, and Rolling Stone.

Multiple sources have reported that the day's events included:

3:30 PM Arrival & Phone Check: Doors opened. Guests arrived through a private 180-foot drive-through tent on West 31st Street. Guests had to surrender their mobile phones before entering.

4:00 PM Cocktail Hour: A cocktail reception was held on the sixth-floor concourse.

5:30 PM The Marriage: The ceremony was held on the arena floor, with 15 rows of seating surrounded by large artificial trees.

6:30 PM The Reception: Held on the main floor, which had been turned into a greenhouse, featuring bars, dinner, and live music.

2:00 - 4:00 AM After-Party: Celebrations continued.

"Multiple streets near MSG were closed to vehicle traffic, while portions of W 33rd. Street and Seventh Avenue closest to the arena were closed to pedestrians, some of whom waited nearby for a glimpse of the newlyweds or their guests," Forbes reported.

Forbes estimated that the wedding cost at least $20 million.

"The event’s price tag is high, but not out of range for the couple. Swift’s estimated net worth is $2 billion—a figure consisting of nearly $800 million from touring and royalties. Kelce was No. 8 on Forbes’ list of the highest-paid NFL players in 2025," Forbes stated.

"Meanwhile, police presence and traffic enforcement associated with the wedding may have cost up to $10 million, former New York City Traffic Commissioner Sam Schwartz told Forbes, noting the bill might fall on New York City taxpayers but could be picked up by Kelce and Swift."

Swift and Kelce reportedly donated $26 million to various charities leading up to their wedding day.
