Anyone with even a passing interest in celebrity culture will surely be aware that chart-topping musician Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce have officially tied the knot.

Over the last few weeks, whispers about the pair’s planned big day turned to very loud rumours about them getting hitched in a lavish 1,000-strong ceremony at New York’s iconic arena Madison Square Garden – which turned out to be very much true.

The worst-kept secret in showbiz was confirmed to be the case on Friday when the screens outside the venue flashed up a message reading “JUST&T MARRIED”, with a similar slogan popping up on the licence plate of a car spotted leaving the venue shortly afterwards.

Since then, it’s emerged that the couple went all out for the ceremony, which included the creation of a European-style castle inside the arena, as well as an outside-inside garden theme and wedding looks designed by Jonathan Anderson, the creative director of Dior’s Haute Couture Collections “in close collaboration” with both Taylor and Travis.

Of course, what we all want now is more details, and with the wedding dominating pretty much every entertainment news outlet right now, it may well be hard to keep up with what actually went down at the Swift-Kelce wedding.

Here are some of the biggest celebrity moments you might have missed…

One detail that Taylor’s spokesperson was happy to confirm once the singer was hitched was the fact that Adam Sandler was the one to do the honours, marrying the Grammy winner and her new husband.

Adam and Travis first crossed paths when the latter made a cameo in the Happy Gilmore sequel last year, while the comedy actor has apparently known Taylor for years through his daughters.

He was also a guest on Travis’ New Heights podcast last year, where he told the Kansas City Chiefs star: “When you guys first started dating, my family was like, ‘Yes. Look how good they are together. He’s a gentleman and she’s having so much fun’.”

According to TMZ, Adam was anything but a traditional officiant, delivering a specially-written original song for Taylor and Travis’ big day.

When Madison Square Garden emerged as a potential venue for Taylor’s big day, fans pointed out that the last time she made an appearance there, she sported a Stevie Nicks t-shirt, which may have been an Easter egg for the Fleetwood Mac singer performing at the bash.

According to People magazine, Stevie was, indeed, one of the A-list performers at Taylor and Travis’ wedding reception, where Sir Paul McCartney apparently gave a rendition of the Beatles classic I Want To Hold Your Hand.

TMZ also indicated that Haim might have performed at the event, while Page Six claimed that Tim McGraw, one of Taylor’s earliest musical inspirations, was booked to perform.

Music was always going to be one of the talking points at Taylor Swift’s wedding, and since it was suggested in a TMZ report that the You Belong With Me star had walked down the aisle to a Bridgerton-esque orchestral reimagining of one of her own songs, fans have been speculating about which it could have been.

One we can probably rule out is Blank Space, her 2014 hit about her past bad luck when it came to romance, although a line from this song was embossed on handkerchiefs given to guests on their arrivals.

Days before the wedding, it was reported that the guestlist could reach numbers as high as 1,000, with Taylor even joking that “anyone I’ve ever talked to” would be getting an invite.

Indeed, the list of celebrities in attendance is an especially long one.

Joining the bride and groom’s respective families were some of Taylor’s famous friends, including Selena Gomez, the Haim sisters, Gigi Hadid (who apparently attended with boyfriend Bradley Cooper), Ed Sheeran, Gracie Abrams, Karlie Kloss (and her husband Joshua Kushner), Ice Spice and Lena Dunham.

It seems that Taylor also made good on her promise to invite presenters Greg James and Graham Norton, while Hugh Grant – who previously enjoyed a night of partying with Travis when his now-wife’s Eras Tour landed in London – also put in an appearance.

Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lawrence, Tom Cruise were reported to be there, too, as were Lana Del Rey and Sabrina Carpenter, both of whom have appeared on Taylor’s albums Midnights and The Life Of A Showgirl.

Instead, the singer’s representative confirmed that, in lieu of bridesmaids, she had a single “man of honour” in the form of her brother, Austin.

Similarly, Travis didn’t have groomsmen, but his brother Jason Kelce served as best man, while Jason’s daughters were reportedly on flower girl duties.

One of our favourite stories to come out of the wedding so far is that Girls creator Lena Dunham, a long-time friend of Taylor’s, was tasked with performing a speech at the reception.

Per the Daily Mail, true to form, Lena held nothing back with a speech the outlet described as “shockingly rude”, eliciting “gasps” from the crowd, but thankfully plenty of “laughs” too.

Fortunately, it seemed Taylor was a fan, with a supposed “insider” claiming she hailed her friend as a “genius” afterwards.

With a guestlist as big as this one, sometimes the story is who didn’t make the cut.

Among the most notable absentees were Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, which at one point would have been unthinkable, but the couple’s relationship with the bride is reported to have turned frosty in recent history.

It should be noted, though, that they were watching their six-year-old daughter competing in a horse show on the day of the wedding, so it could just be that they couldn’t get out of a prior commitment.

While Zoë Kravitz was in attendance, her rumoured fiancé Harry Styles was not.

Harry, of course, once dated Taylor, and is rumoured to be the inspiration for numerous songs on her hit album 1989, including Out Of The Woods and, indeed, Style.

Pop fans will know, however, that Harry was performing his last of 12 record-breaking nights at London’s Wembley Stadium on the night of Taylor’s nuptials, with Variety claiming he was invited to the event, but couldn’t make it due to this previous booking.

The former One Direction star wasn’t the only famous +1 to miss out on the Swift-Kelce wedding, as the Daily Mail claimed that Jack Antonoff’s wife Margaret Qualley was also not in attendance.

Vladimir Putin snubbed Donald Trump’s latest attempts at ending the war in Ukraine by launching a brutal attack on Kyiv just hours after the two leaders spoke.

The US president spoke to the Russian autocrat over the phone for nearly 90 minutes on Saturday while America was celebrating the 250th anniversary of its independence.

The Kremlin claimed their conversation was “business-like and quite constructive”.

But Russia was back to bombing Ukraine by Sunday night.

At least 11 people were killed overnight and a further 46 others injured as Putin’s missile and drone strikes targeted the capital.

It was the second set of strikes on Kyiv in a week.

Trump’s phone call with Putin came after previous US-brokered peace talks between Ukraine and Russia stalled while the White House was focused on its war in Iran.

The US president has also shifted away from his sympathy for Putin in recent weeks and instead acknowledged that Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy is “holding his own” on the battlefield.

Even so, the Kremlin described Putin and Trump’s conversation as “business-like and quite constructive”.

Russian aide Yuri Ushakov said early on Sunday: “The American president once again confirmed his readiness to work towards a rapid end to the fighting and find solutions to overcome the crisis.”

He said Putin was pushing for a “political-diplomatic resolution of the conflict, with due account of Russia’s fundamental approach”.

Ushakov then accused both Ukraine and its European allies of “counting on extending and even escalating the conflict and on terrorism against civilians”, referring to Ukraine’s long-range missile strikes on Russian targets.

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy also revealed he spoke to Trump over the weekend.

He said they had “very good” discussions about the war, including its 1,200-kilometre front line.

He said: “There is a real prospect to end this war and American resolve will have a crucial meaning.”

Zelenskyy and Trump are set to attend this week’s Nato summit in Ankara, where member states are expected to reaffirm support for Ukraine and offer more financial support.

The US is not expected to contribute to any further funding.

Critics have pointed to the glaring irony of Donald Trump’s intervention in the 2026 FIFA World Cup to help get US star Folarin Balogun’s red-card suspension overturned ahead of Monday’s Round of 16 clash with Belgium.

They noted on social media that Balogun is only eligible to play for the US men’s national team because he is a birthright citizen, after an airline in 2001 denied his British citizen mother from boarding a flight home because she was too close to giving birth to him, and then gave birth in Brooklyn.

The constitutional right that Balogun enjoys is the very same one that Trump has spent years trying to end and whose attempts to do so were struck down by the US Supreme Court this month.

Balogun, who plays his club soccer for Monaco in France’s Ligue 1, was sent off during the United States’ Round of 32 victory over Bosnia & Herzegovina, triggering an automatic one-match suspension.

After many fans and pundits argued the red card was unjust, Trump reportedly called FIFA’s Peace Prize-awarding President Gianni Infantino to request a review.

FIFA announced on Sunday that the suspension had been overturned.

“Thank you to FIFA for doing what was right, and reversing a great injustice!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

While Balogun’s reincorporation into the team was celebrated by many, critics pointed out the hypocrisy of Trump’s move and also suggested that America’s run in the competition had now been tainted.

President Donald Trump took another social media potshot at Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni on Sunday.

As part of a flurry of dozens of posts and reposts on Truth Social, Trump shared a pic of himself with Meloni ― who is about a foot shorter ― looking up at him during the recent G7 summit in France.

“RESTRAINING ORDER NEEDED” he wrote:

Trump, who last year called Meloni “a beautiful young woman” while also complaining he’s “not allowed to say it,” started a feud with the world leader in June when he claimed she “begged” him for a photo at the summit.

“She wanted a picture with me so badly. I wouldn’t have taken it, but I felt sorry for her,” Trump said.

In a video on social media, Meloni hit back, saying Trump’s story was “completely fabricated.”

“Italy and I do not beg,” she declared.

Italian foreign minister Antonio Tajani then cancelled his trip to the United States in protest of Trump’s claim, which he called “serious and offensive.”

Before long, a moment between Meloni and Trump at the summit went viral, and it was footage the image-conscious U.S. president likely wasn’t happy about:

Trump hit back days later, saying Meloni had asked for a pic “over and over.” He also told NBC News that Meloni “was a big fan” of his.

“But I don’t want her as a fan because she was not there ― along with the NATO group ― having to do with the strait,” he said, referring to the Strait of Hormuz, which has been a sticking point in Trump’s negotiations to end his war on Iran.

Trump also said Meloni needed the photo because “she is doing poorly in Italy with her level of popularity.”

“My popularity is none of your concern,” she fired back. “I suggest you focus on yours.”

Things seemed to quiet between the two leaders for a couple of weeks until Trump made his “restraining order” post on Sunday. Meloni has not yet responded, but Trump’s critics on X blasted him for the post:

Nigel Farage has claimed he is the victim of “an establishment hit job” as he faces a fresh sleaze probe into financial support given to him by a convicted criminal.

The Reform UK leader insisted he had “done no wrongdoing” after he was reported to the parliamentary standards commissioner over his relationship with George Cottrell.

The Sunday Times reported that Cottrell – known as “posh George” – provided funding for Farage’s staffing and security, as well as the use of a London townhouse, before he became an MP.

Under parliamentary rules, new MPs need to register any gifts worth more than £300 they received in the previous 12 months, except where the gift “could not be reasonably thought by others” to relate to their political activities.

Farage said: “I have done no wrongdoing, followed the rules and I am now considering legal action against The Sunday Times.

“It’s now clear the establishment will stop at nothing to hurt Reform – we want to smash their cosy consensus.”

Robert Jenrick, Reform’s Treasury spokesman, said on Sunday that Cottrell, who was convicted of fraud in the US in 2017, is an “old friend” of Farage and has “no formal role within Reform”.

However, The Times reported on Monday that he handed out a business card printed with the Reform UK logo and Nigel Farage’s official email address.

Lib Dem MP Josh Babarinde has written to the standards commissioner Daniel Greenberg urging him to investigate Farage’s links to Cottrell.

He said: “Mr Farage has made a career out of ‘taking back control’, but he is not being straight with the British people about who controls him.”

Greenberg is already investigating a £5 million “gift” Farage received from the Thai-based crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne before the general election but did not declare.

If he is found to have broken the MPs’ code of conduct and suspended from the Commons for more than 10 days, he could face a by-election to hold onto his Clacton seat.

A Labour Party spokesperson said: “Nigel Farage and Reform are engulfed in a huge and growing scandal.

“It’s not going to go away, and trying to take the public for fools by saying it’s ‘none of your business’ won’t help.

“These new allegations of secret payments from a wealthy convicted criminal are on top of the ongoing scandal of his secret £5 million gift from a crypto billionaire.

“How much money has he been given, what did his donors get in return, and why has he tried to cover them up and avoid legitimate questions?

“Time and again Farage pretends to be on the side of working people.

“In reality he’s just in it for himself and can be bought by the highest bidder. He’s completely unfit for high office.”

President Donald Trump went on a frenzied social media spree on Sunday, firing off more than 100 Truth Social posts, but only a handful addressed his rocky America 250 party.

Appearing to have a lot on his mind following a turbulent Independence Day celebration in Washington DC on Saturday, Trump’s posts careered from complaints about communism and boasts about his TikTok stats to a string of defences for the “crystal clear” Reflecting Pool that’s created weeks of controversy on the National Mall.

Trump showed off banners featuring himself and former President George Washington on the front of the Interior Department’s building, one tagged “America’s First” and the other “America First.”

He also lashed out at US District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan and her decision to block his plans to use a Department of Homeland Security database containing sensitive personal information to vet voter eligibility.

As the afternoon went on, Trump continued to flood his feed with more random posts, including commentary about boxer Mike Tyson’s 1990 bout with Henry Tillman, a racially-insensitive photoshop of former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama on a graffiti-covered Air Force One, and an image of his frenemy, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, giving him doe-eyes with the text “Restraining order needed” on top.

On Sunday evening, Trump pretended to be a hero, claiming the July 4th “Salute to America 250” celebration was canceled until he stepped in to save the day. In reality, the National Park Service had ordered attendees to shelter in place around 7:15 p.m. Saturday, due to safety concerns about severe weather. After about a three-hour delay, guests were invited back to the National Mall to hear the president speak and watch the fireworks.

“When I heard that it was cancelled, I immediately overturned that decision, and waited a while for people to come back,” he wrote, along with a typo-tinged addendum that proclaimed, “it was an even more spectacular evening than it would have been as normalised!”
