Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce tie the knot at Madison Square Garden

The singer-songwriter exchanged vows with the NFL star during a star-studded ceremony at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Friday evening.

Swift’s publicist confirmed the wedding in a statement reported by the Associated Press.

The couple opted for a ceremony without bridesmaids or groomsmen, although there were plenty of famous faces in attendance. Actor Adam Sandler officiated the wedding, while Kelce’s brother Jason served as best man and Swift’s brother was her man of honour.

A huge billboard outside the iconic venue displayed the message “JUST&T MARRIED” after the ceremony.

Both Swift and Kelce wore Christian Dior Haute Couture, with custom-made Christian Louboutin shoes completing their wedding-day looks.

The couple had kept details of their plans largely under wraps, with guests remaining quiet on social media as celebrations got under way.

Among those spotted arriving were Hugh Grant, Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis and actor Ethan Hawke, while reports suggested guests could also include Selena Gomez, Ed Sheeran, the Haim sisters and Gigi Hadid.

Outside the arena, crowds of fans gathered hoping to catch a glimpse of the celebrations. Photos showed the venue decorated with peach-coloured roses and illuminated by pink lighting.

For many UK fans, the wedding marks the latest chapter in one of pop culture’s biggest romances. Swift and Kelce began dating in 2023 after the Kansas City Chiefs player revealed on his podcast that he wanted to meet the singer – something Swift later described as a “wild, romantic gesture”.

The pair announced their engagement last year in a joint Instagram post that jokingly read: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”

Ahead of the wedding, Swift and Kelce donated 26 million dollars (£19.4 million) to 20 charities, including food banks, children’s hospitals and education programmes.

The wedding took place over America’s Independence Day weekend – a holiday Swift has often celebrated with lavish parties over the years – bringing a fairytale ending to a love story that has captivated fans on both sides of the Atlantic.
