Paul McCartney Performs Beatles Song At Taylor Swift’s Wedding

Music legend Sir Paul McCartney performed the Beatles classic I Want To Hold Your Hand at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding on Friday, 62 years after it was last performed.

People magazine has reported that Sir Paul and Stevie Nicks were among the performers at Taylor and Travis’ wedding reception, which took place at New York’s iconic Madison Square Garden arena.

For the event, the former Beatles star revisited one of the band’s earliest hits, I Want To Hold Your Hand, which topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic in the early 1960s.

According to Rolling Stone, the last known performance of I Want To Hold Your Hand was at a Beatles concert at Paramount Theatre in New York in September 1964.

Sir Paul’s rep did not immediately respond to a request for confirmation.

He and Taylor have a long friendship, and in 2020, they appeared together on the cover of Rolling Stone’s Musicians On Musicians issue, where the two singers spoke highly of each other’s work.

Before that, they had performed together at various parties.

Sir Paul has previously said he sees the “parallel” between the Beatles’ and Taylor’s fame.

In addition to this, Taylor has also supported the fan theory that her song Sweet Nothing, from her Midnights album, was inspired by Sir Paul and his first marriage to the late Linda McCartney.

Taylor and Travis’ wedding was a star-studded event with more than 1,000 guests in attendance.

Adam Sandler officiated the ceremony, and other stars, including Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez, Lena Dunham and Hugh Grant, also put in appearances. Taylor’s brother, Austin, served as the Man of Honour, in lieu of bridesmaids, while Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, was the best man.

As soon as the couple officially wed, the screen outside Madison Square Garden read “JUST&T MARRIED”, in a nod to the couple’s first initials.
