From Wikipedia:
The wedding of the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift and the American football player Travis Kelce took place on July 3, 2026, at Madison Square Garden (MSG) in Manhattan, New York City. The pair confirmed their relationship in September 2023, and after two years of dating, they became engaged in August 2025, when Kelce proposed to Swift at a garden in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. Their engagement announcement on Instagram became one of the most-liked posts on the platform, and their nuptials generated extensive press and social media coverage.
Swift and Kelce picked MSG, an indoor arena, as their wedding venue for its large, secure, and enclosed space. An intimate rehearsal dinner took place on July 2, 2026, with 100 guests at the Infosys Theater, followed by an extravagant wedding ceremony on the arena floor on July 3, attended by about 1,000 friends and colleagues of the couple, including a plethora of prominent celebrities and public figures from music, film, television, sports, fashion, and media industries. It was a private, no-phone zone, with guests signing non-disclosure agreements (NDAs); photographs or footage from the wedding have not been published. Media outlets reported on its scheduling and guest list as they were not publicized by the parties involved.
Dior and Christian Louboutin designed the matrimonial attire for the couple, with jewelry from Cartier for Swift. Adam Sandler officiated the ceremony, and the couple’s siblings Austin Swift and Jason Kelce served as man of honor and best man, respectively. Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks, Ciara, and Fergie performed at the wedding. The couple obtained a municipal permit from the city, covering the expenses incurred by the security and traffic control provided by the New York City Police Department (NYPD) for the wedding. With both Swift and Kelce being influential figures in the entertainment industry, many journalists and cultural critics described the wedding as an American royal function and a symbolic union of football and pop music.
