Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are married. A Swift spokesperson confirmed that the couple wed on Friday, July 3, at Madison Square Garden in New York City, nearly three years after they first met. Adam Sandler officiated the ceremony.
Inside the wedding
- The wedding party: Swift’s brother, Austin, was her “man of honor,” and Kelce’s brother, Jason, was best man. There were no bridesmaids or groomsmen.
- The fashion: Both wore Christian Dior couture by Jonathan Anderson. Swift added Cartier jewelry and Christian Louboutin shoes.
- The guests: Permits suggested up to 1,000 guests, including Ed Sheeran, Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Hugh Grant, Ethan Hawke, Lena Dunham, producer Jack Antonoff, NFL stars Cooper Kupp and JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Swift’s publicist Tree Paine and childhood best friend Abigail Anderson Berard. Stevie Nicks was reportedly set to perform, and phones were reportedly banned.
- The moment: At about 7:20 p.m., screens outside the arena lit up with the message “JUST T MARRIED!” as fans gathered in the heat for a glimpse of what many called “America’s royal wedding.”
How their love story began
Kelce went to Swift’s Eras Tour show at Arrowhead Stadium in July 2023 hoping to give her a friendship bracelet, but he didn’t get to meet her, and he talked about his disappointment on his New Heights podcast. In her documentary, Swift’s mom, Andrea, revealed that she helped set up their first meeting after the clip went viral. The pair met privately soon after, and in September 2023, Swift attended a Chiefs game at Arrowhead and left the stadium with Kelce in his convertible.
Milestones followed: love songs about Kelce on The Tortured Poets Department, Kelce joining her on stage at Wembley in June 2024, the first time a partner had joined her at a concert, and the August 2025 announcement of The Life of a Showgirl on his podcast. Their engagement came soon after.
Our take
Getting married at Madison Square Garden fits a couple whose romance played out in stadiums. What stands out is how much they kept for themselves: siblings as the wedding party, family and old friends on the guest list, and no phones inside. It was a huge event, but it looks like it was built around the people who matter most to them.
